About Me

CURRENT MISSION

wake up tomorrow morning and still have a sense of humor

ABOUT ME

Surprisingly balanced personality despite being constantly at odds with my roots. Live to travel and enjoy meeting new (relatively sane) people whether it's on a subway, at a coffee shop or at a local produce market.

PHILOSOPHY

Honestly...i'm a christian, so the center of my life is God. I believe that the only true cure for modern religion is faith and that as soon as I begin to judge others according to my paradigms I put myself above God and become a hypocrite of the highest rank.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Once again, only recently joined couch surfers, but when I have surfed people's couches outside the couch surfing radar, the experiences were only good.
