About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My main goal in life is traveling. Also I try to expand my comfort zones and meet as many different people as possible, as long as they're cool.

ABOUT ME

First of all, I have to say that I really hate these "All about yourself" boxes. It seems like the youth (and not so youth) of today are becoming totally defined by these little boxes, or little nothing questions that no one ever wants to read unless they like to pry into your life and you happen to be a really verbally entertaining person. But beyond that, I....I uhm, I like people...and I do art a lot, well sometimes when I get around to it, but I do it pretty well. I love music, and I LOVE to dance. I'mnot talking about that I'm-at-the-club lets-have-verticle-sex-on-the- dance-floor dancing; I like to SHAKE IT. Actually more like fling it, it being my whole body. Okay, the best way to sum it up is to quote a friend of mine when he saw me dancing: "I keep thinking you're always just about to fall over but SOMEHOW you always manage to get your feet back under you." I put so much energy into dancing I tend to get cramped up after one song. I'm a biker, I'm not exactly out of shape. I'm a biker in PITTSBURGH, where we have hills up the wazoo. So, lets see. I hate television and love learning, I hate not doing anything and sometimes make up reasons to be doing things. I read so much sometimes I give myself headaches (I hate one of those now or else I wouldn't have mentioned it). I love cities, and traveling,and running around at night doing things like jumping in fountains. okay I think maybe thats enough for now, can you tell it's latenight rambling?

PHILOSOPHY

people are outrageous and wonderfulyou should always push yourself outside of your comfort zones so that you can handle more and moredoing is better than not doinglive it upchildren should always be taught multiple languages while they're still young

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well I live in a crazy German family so often when I was younger, or not so young, my mother would kick me out and I'd have to couch surf at friends for longish periods, or on natures very outdoorish bed of grass somewhere. I love couchsurfing....although I've found that doing it for really extended periods of time makes it hard to sleep. You can only go so long without personal space. I mean, I. I can.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like little kid fantasy movies. I know...I know. I bet you can guess them all already. Here we goNightmare Before Christmas, Hook, Peter Pan, The Neverending Story, Narnia...you get itUhm, my musical preferancekind of changes a lot because I jump from cd to cd, song to song. But some bands that I will always like:Old garage punk Goo Goo Dolls before they got rich, At the Drive In, the Party of Helicopters, the Misfits, The Get Up Kids, The Dire Straits.....aw I'm sick of this alreadyBooks ehI like mythology and folklore. and reading up on historical stuff that interests me. I read a lot, just accept that

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Oh come on. I tell great stories. Let's talk.

Teach, Learn, Share

What can I teach someone? Well, through some vague opinions that people have been telling me about myself, apparently I make up for not being good in large social situations by being very good at one on one situations. What does that mean exactly? I think what theyre telling me is that I'm very good at helping you figure yourself out. That could be bullshit, I'm just going by what understanding I can get out of these heathens.just kidding.
