About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm a hedonist, I like to do what I like. I love meeting people, partying, dancing, drinking, playing stupid games, creating false identities and learning. I know what I want to do in life and am working on getting there while living along the way. Watching movies, listening to (and singing along with) music and reading great books are my favorite solo activities along with walking while contemplating.

PHILOSOPHY

life is for the living

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have attended a lot of the weekly meetings in Montreal, a CS beach party and have met for "coffee or a drink" and so far I LOVE IT!!!! Everyone I've met has some amazing story to tell and is extremely friendly and openminded.
Since this point, I have been surfing through europe for a few months. There were a few instances where I wasn't able to find a host before arriving in a city, but then I went to a meetup and not only found hosts, but made great friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed before I knew of the website's existence. I've slept on many floors, couches, shared futons and beds with a lot of people (fit 5 people on a futon, nice). Many strange people have grazed my beds, couches and floors (my favorite was a metal guy sleeping on my floor with his head under the coffee table). I've been shown amazing times by people in cities I've visited and do my best to do the same for others. I love my city and I love to show it to people! Oh, and I've been going to the weekly meetings, so much fun! There are some cool cats that show up

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite sorts of music are old punk, rockabilly, psychobilly, rock and roll, bluegrass, Ukranian polkas, honky tonk, reggae, funk and anythnig else that gets my shoulders a bopppin'. My favorite books are zany ones like anything by Chuck Palahniuk and Irvine Welsh but I'm also a nerd and love anything psych related. Big Lebowsky is my all time favorite, but I like a lot of movies

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I bungee jumped in Interlaken, in the mountains, above a lake, in the snow. It was one of the most incredible experiences, I was shocked by the serenity of being surrounded by nothing...

I also got a man I just met to say "I could F***ing kill you" after a few short hours of knowing me. It was a pretty amazing thing, although he made it lame by continuing with "but I could also love you". Oh drunk Irish men in Berlin...

I once hiked up a mountain at 5 in the morning to watch the sunrise over the rockies.....

I also once saw a lightning storm come from far away and watched it come closer, over the mountains until our building was hit....

moraine lake

one of the most amazing things I've done was moving out west by myself at 18, being shy and not knowing anyone. I slowly pushed myself out of it and now am much more outgoing and have a lot more fun
