About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to live life and learn from people

ABOUT ME

I like cheese a lot. I try not to judge people, but I do make fun of them a lot. I hate it when others get put down and limited by odd rules and unreasonable systems. People shouldn't live on inertia.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life because it is a gift, even if its a gift from no one but my parents, its still a great thing to be alive another day and get to interact with other people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I'm traveling, so I'm seeing if its all good and fun and all that jazz because my friend Vinny said it was good. If it all works out, I hope to host people back at home, when a home exists, and learn, adventure, and be helpful to others!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Mostly I've met other travelers or locals on my ways around and been blessed by their amazingness, and willingness to help me out, and learned a lot from all of them. I've never had a bad time anywhere I've been.

Interests

Films, Art, Animals, Beer, Theatre, rocket Science, theoretical physics, Jesuits, swimming, seeing new/amazing works of nature and humankind.

Music, Movies, and Books

What am I not interested in? Everything is worth the shot, someone worked on it... then you can say if its bad but see, hear, read it first, no?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trekked to the base of Kachenjunga, the 3rd tallest mountain in the world, up to 15,000 feet!

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to learn, and I think I still have a lot of learning to do. I don't really know what I could teach someone. I could show you how to write your name in Devanagari and it looks really cool, or how to pick good coffee, or why loose leaf tea is better than teabags. I don't know how to ride a bike, so I would like to learn how to do that someday.
I'm willing to share whatever I have with people who need it, or just want to share.
