About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live and Let Live

ABOUT ME

I'm a right handed Capricorn born in the year of the Rat. I graduated a from Wittenberg University about a year ago. I moved to England shortly after and worked for about half a year. I've spent the past two months in Paris, Rome, Venice and Fornes. Its been one of the best years of my life. I'll return back to the states at the end of April when I will begin to look for my own place to welcome couch surfers into my home from all over the world. I love new and old people and places. I like to laugh and enjoy good people, wine, and food (in that order).

PHILOSOPHY

Everything happens for a reason, we're all vicitims of chance in the best way. evrything is what you make it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couch surfed in Kyushu, Japan, London, England and Treviso, Italy.

Interests

I'm like a kid in a candy store right now. This world is a truly beautiful place. The more you know, the more you know you don't know. Almost anything can hold my interest for a second but its the interesting things that hold it for longer.

  • dining
  • wine

Music, Movies, and Books

I love love love luv, wheather its in books, movies, pictures, ect. Darjeeling Limited, Shawshank Redemption, Some Like it Hotttt. I don't read a ton even though I aspire to be a frequent reader. Next on my list is Bible Code.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I remember holding a brush and pallet on a mountain in Ireland and thinking this might be as good as it gets. I remember falling in love with a orphan named matente in Lesotho Africa and thinking "no,this is as good as it gets". everyday is a winding road and i get a little bit closer.

Teach, Learn, Share

As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others...

...Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.

Countries I’ve Visited

France, Ireland, Italy, Jamaica, Lesotho, Mexico, South Africa, Spain, United Kingdom, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

Japan, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States
