CURRENT MISSION

As long as I can see...why not see it ALL!!!

ABOUT ME

If you dare meet me, then you will find out...don't worry, I don't bite!...But I will probably out-drink you!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is all about taking risks (yea, it sounds like someone else's quote, but it works for me as well) You should never be scared of your gut feeling, in fact, you should let it lead you! If you have a feeling for doing something or going somewhere (whatever it may be...) JUST DO IT! And if you fall, don't let it stop you. After all...life is short, and life is life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Before I even knew about this project, I would let anyone and everyone, who needed a place to stay, into my home, for as long as they needed. I have had guests anywhere from good friends to newcomers from overseas, with shitty jobs and low pay. Whoever just wanted to chill, was welcome to all the parties, and whoever was looking for a living in the US, I helped them get jobs and proper living accomodations. I have made several life long friends like this and I definitely have plenty of room for more!
