CURRENT MISSION

Figuring out how to not stray from my daily life to feel like I am living to my full potential

ABOUT ME

I can't help but feel slightly biased giving a self description but profiles that are lacking this part just look lame.

I am generally very easy going but stand strongly by principle. I love staying physically as well as mentally active so that I can be thrown into new mixes of people and activities no matter how strenuous without worry. I am a terrible speller but a freak about grammar. I have a mix-bag of work experience because I decided a ways back if I want to learn how to do something I better go at it full steam; I am constantly working on being that jack of all trades. It's pretty accurate to say all CSers enjoy meeting new people and that's why I signed up as well; hope we cross paths...

PHILOSOPHY

I don't guarantee much, but rarely rule anything out before trying a few times. Every once in a while I come out on top.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I walk in and see if I can volunteer/help/participate in some way. This is often carefully planned during my walk in.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Normally, I'll get along with anything new for awhile. I enjoy a lot of classics (Sinatra, Johnny Cash, Mozart) Depends what I'm doing as well: Studying = Classical helps me feel smarter; Flying = top gun; Drivin' off road = gotta be country

Books: "Man's Search for Himself" by Rollo May;
"...for dummies" is also a great series because I am a dummy

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flew an L-39 (you can google images it, I did not know what it was either until I took the controls). Bartended at an Extreme sports festival in Norway. In the course of 4 days: drove 25 hours, sold a camper van, flew (as a passenger) 19 hours crossing 11 time zones, trained it 2 hours, and drove another hour to get home in a rush; no regrets.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to fly an airplane, bake croissants, renovate your bathroom, fix your bike, or install a garage door.

I am a crew boy. I love rowing boats, and would bend over backwards to jump in any boat that needs an extra guy.
