Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To Ride and enjoy my surroundings as I travel through them while one with my motorcycle...
ABOUT ME
I toured North America on my motorcycle for 86 days from July to September 2010. It was incredible. Couchsurfing was such an amazing part of it.
Anyway... I could go on for a while! Not because I'm a conceited jerk, but because I am naturally verbose and extroverted! But I'll try to keep it short...
I'm adventurous, fun, intelligent, fit, and I can't help but have a magnetic personality; some may even say wise beyond my years? :P
I'm also quite thoughtful and considerate which makes me a great guest AND host.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
My home is open to any who wish to travel here. In the meantime, I will travel and entertain those who take me in :D
And I promise, while your guest, I won't be a loafer! I intend to pay you in anyway I can be it, cooking food, ordering in food, going out for, or even rides on my motorbike (I always bring a spare helmet) :D, it's a fairly economical mode of tourist transportation if you want to give me a tour!
However, my couch is not for rent, and it is not a temporary home for transients.
Oh, I also donated.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Being in the military for some time, I did not make a HUGE amount of money, and I found myself staying at the homes of friends' families many a time.
I surfed many a couch and was shown many a town by awesome CS'ers during my motorcycle tour.

Music, Movies, and Books

Electronic music such as house, etc, but I also enjoy alternative rock, classic rock, classical, some DJ's I'm listening to right now are Deadmau5, David Guetta, and bands I will always have a place in my heart for are Smashing Pumpkins, RAdiohead, Cardigans, Cranberries, Ani DiFranco, Fiest, Regina Spektor, Imogen Heap/Frou Frou... yeah I can't stop. Coldplay? lol
My fave books, so many, GUNS UP, INVISIBLE MONSTER, LULLABYE, ATLAS SHRUGGED, CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER...
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I was a Big Brother for 3 years which has been quite rewarding. My time in the military was an experience I never want to forget, many doors were opened for me, however, I chose to rejoin the civilian population. The world is full of beauty and when you're strapped to a motorcycle with no car surrounding you, you become immersed, it is an amazing feeling. So add the motorcycle tour to the list. Wow...
Teach, Learn, Share
Oh my, with the time, I could teach a wide variety of things from my background with the military. But in short periods, I can teach people a great deal about self-improvement, the building of confidence, and the creation of mentalities to help keep their chin up!
