About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be happier than I was on the previous day.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 35 year old.......um person.

You'd probably be able to decipher more of me as a person by reading the interest sections below.

I'm generally a laid back person. I enjoy good people, good music and good drink.

I am currently in school towards an AA in accounting, not very exciting I realize, but there you go.

Hmmmmm, I don't know. If you read the other sections, you'll get a better idea of whom I'm claiming to be.

PHILOSOPHY

Being happy with good people and good music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've participate primarily by hosting people, which I'm going to say is a great way to start and I've also stayed with existing friends who were also on couchsurfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've slept on many couches/bathtubs/gym floors/bowling lanes/church floors/chairs/mountain tops/closets and in cars before I was directed here and they've all been good.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, sleeping on a frozen lake on New Years was a pretty amazing experience. It wasn't a couchsurfing related experience though, which I don't think should have to be a requirement for listing here. Also skydiving through a cloud was pretty euphoric too, even days after.
