About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Don't be one of those people who say "I am getting old" when I am only in my mid twenties.

ABOUT ME

I love people. Love meeting new people and love meeting old friends. Occasionally I enjoy people watching but that is quickly gives way to my desire to interact with others.

I love FOOD! Eating it, reading about it, watching about it on tv (foodnetwork is awesome!!!), cooking it or helping someone cook it. I enjoy pretty much all cuisines out there. I love trying out new things. Whenever I travel a new area I make it a goal to try out their local dishes. I also enjoy an occasional eating challenge. I once attempted a 5 pound burger meal at a restaurant in LA. I could only get about half way through but the experience was fun nonetheless.

I really do enjoy physical activity but being the social person that I am, I usually find that if I can't find someone to join in then I just do less active things like read books, watch movies or tv, or play video games. But I really do love stuff like hiking or camping. Also love sports, mainly soccer but I wish I played it more regularly.

I also love going out and partying with the right people. They have to be laid back and out going.

I drink. I don't smoke but don't really mind people that do.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live.

Every man is guilty of the good that he does not do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I only heard about this website right before my current travels so unfortunately I can not say that I have participated much. When I do get back to San Diego I plan on making myself available to show people around the beautiful area or go grab food or drinks with them. Sadly, my full time working roommates would not appreciate my inviting strangers over.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have not experienced anything to write home about. But that might be because I am on a road trip and I am send couch requests less than a week before I am reaching new cities. I am hoping that things take a positive turn.

Interests

Oh boy, soooooooo many things. I think I already put so much in the "All about you" section. But really, I think I find pretty much everything interesting.

Music, Movies, and Books

I make tv, movie and song references here and there. If I'm lucky someone will get them and I won't feel incredibly silly :P

Lots of favorite movies but on top is Snatch.
Lots of favorite books but most recently was His Dark Materials.
Lots and lots of favorite music and that is too tough to narrow down.

I'll definitely put some effort into making this a real list someday. It'll just be waaaaaay too long.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once ran into Jason Alexander at a Gap store. He was super cool.

Less exciting is the fact that I climbed of the pyramids of Giza stones when i was a kid before it was not allowed!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd be glad to share any of the little knowledge and experience i have in this world with anyone who asks nicely... well, almost anyone.
