Conversation is probably my all-time favorite interpersonal activity, and if provoked I can talk endlessly, so if you're longing to learn 'about me' you'll be able to have that desire satisfied pretty quickly--perhaps soon we'll have the opportunity to truly understand one another rather than simply knowing 'about'!

Ultimately I'm seeking what I wager we're all looking for--happiness via moments of clarity and good friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After first using couchsurfing to make some good friends while I was backpacking around Scotland, my sights are now set for some European travel with my girlfriend Nicole. My favorite places tend to be the rural ones that lie beyond cities where I can really get alone in nature and catch the glimmer of the sun through the leaves, but Europe's cities are just about as gorgeous as cities can possibly be, so I'm excited to couchsurf wherever! Although my couchsurfing experience at this point is still relatively limited, the people I've met via this community have been so rad that I can't wait for my next opportunity to crash on someone's floor.

Interests

'Art' can mean a million different things nowadays, so to clear up any misconceptions, I'm interested in the places beyond our bodies where our souls can come to understand one another.
