CURRENT MISSION

This is stressing me out, it says to be wacky and creative, I just want to meet new people and see new places and have some good experiences.

ABOUT ME

Fun, adventurous, easy going

I like to travel. I love talking to people. I love hearing stories of human nature. Bravery and adventure fascinate me.

I can be funny, cynical, shocking, reassuring... It's hard to sum up a person in adjectives. I think we're all made up of opposing forces, we're different in different situations, around different people... So, I'll describe myself as fluid.

A bit of an existentialist. I probably think too much.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm believe in taking chances. I think willing to fail is the only way you can actually succeed. I think fear of failure leads too oppression and I think we live in a world full of oppressive institutions. (I won't talk you're ear off about that unless you ask me too.)

I believe in laughter; comedy is the best form rebellion and resistance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing, for now, I would love to host but I'm currently in a position to do so.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Mostly, I've met couch surfers through friends who have hosted surfers.

I think it's important to reach out to people, whether offering or asking for support. It's a great way to build communities and create the type of world I want to live in. So although I have limited experience as of yet with surfing I think my general life philosophy coincides with couch surfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Packed up all my stuff into my car and went to spend my summer working on an island I had never been to before. Met tons of people from around the world. Learned to drive about use a marine radio. Partied a lot. Didn't save much money to go back to school with but it was totally worth the experience.

Occasionally I will just get in my car or on a bus and go somewhere for the pure sake of travelling. It's one of my favorite things to do.

Teach, Learn, Share

Again, it takes all kinds.

Art. Life.
