About Me

CURRENT MISSION

enjoying the human experience

ABOUT ME

It's so hard to describe yourself to someone who doesn't know you. I'll try to be honest. I have a pretty strange sense of humor. I find some things funny that I really shouldn't. I am spontaneous, but cautious at the same time (if that's possible). I try to act on what I feel, but my head gets in the way a lot. Best of all though, I love life. I love every part of it, even the bad parts.

PHILOSOPHY

Life's too short for regrets

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Spreadin' the word. Getting new, awesome people involved everywhere I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed in Izmir and Istanbul, and met some of the best people of my life... gettin' to know the Pittsburgh Couchsurfers too.

Interests

I don't think I can list my interests because I am interested in just about everything. It's actually becoming a problem because it's about that time when I should be making those major life decisions...
