Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To visit places rather than to see them. To have connections and friends in every country in the world. To share my friendship and fun memories with as many people as possible
ABOUT ME
I am fun-loving, Christian, respectful and non-judging, very much a people person, but need my alone introvert time as well. I figure I've been given an adventure to live, not just a life. I have been given talents and blessings to share, so I'm gonna do that.
I'm very much into adventurous/physical activities like climbing, mountainbiking, skating...you name it, I'll give it a lash.
I love looking for the good in things. I love enjoying the beauty of nature, and the wonder of people.
I am pretty much interested in anything that could be interesting to anyone. It's quite a pain. I put hours into learning to ride a unicycle. I want to spend more time doing up my car. I want to learn to knit. I want to study mechanical engineering. I want to get my pilot license. I want to plant the most awesome veggie garden. The pain about being interested in everything is my to-do list is rather long...
I'm kind-hearted, passionate about what I believe in yet not judgmental, fun, a little introverted by nature, but with a character that won't allow me to be as shy as I feel.
PHILOSOPHY
I feel that life is a gift. I want to die at a hundred and three and have people say "that old man lived an interesting life!" I don't want to just have fun...I want to be fun. I don't want to experience what the world has to offer...I want to share with the world what we both have to offer. I don't want to fake life...I want to live it. I don't want to live my life just for me. I want to share it and enjoy it with others.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've had the blessing of having a lot of contacts in many places over the US. I managed to spend an accumulative 12 months in the US in '06 and '07 and spent only 2 nights in regular accomodation. I figure it's more of an experience to be in peoples' homes and experience the place from the inside. People are so kind!

Classic cars
Climbing
Hiking

The science of things

Music, Movies, and Books
I tend to like a lot of heavy music, but then I like a lot of other stuff. I can see merit in most music, but I definitely lean towards the melodic and progressive side of metal and I can't help but get pumped by dupstep.
I like movies. I like music. I like books. That pretty much covers it.
