About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To become something that I didn't know I wanted to be

ABOUT ME

young, dumb, and in love with the world.
i love words, reading them, writing them, discovering them.
coffee, beer, and the occasional cigarette are a few of my vices.
traveling, observing, and thinking are a few of my hobbies.
im rarely in a bad mood and if i am then its for a fairly complicated and completely unnecessary reason.
I'm thinking of moving to a foreign country, where and when and how i still have to figure out.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that life is limitless, reality is determined by an individuals perception and therefore what ever we make it to be.
Also i want to discover and name a species. i know its not a philosophy but its something i really wanna do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I've only had the sublime pleasure of surfing on other's couches, floors, and beds. It has been such a inspiring adventure receiving peoples trust and respect without having to prove anything. A hope-in-mankind-restoring experience to be sure.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far it is fantastic in everyway. my first host was such a wonderful person, she opened her home and life up to me without hesitation. It was a surreal experience to step into someone else's world for a few days and be welcomed as part of it.

Interests

dabbling in guitar/piano while trying to sing. I love spending one on one time with people and just getting to know their history, what makes them tick. reading, and writing, movies, music. discussing philosophical, ethical, and moral questions alike. Science, and technological advances. TED Talks.
drinking, indulging in lazy behavior.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

camped on Waimanalo beach and watched the stars and sunrise with only the waves to keep me company.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share the basics of acoustic guitar, piano, music theory. my personal philosophies. i would love to better understand different peoples thought processes in general. Im quite taken aback by how differently two people can arrive at the same conclusion.
