CURRENT MISSION

To boldy go where no couchsurfer has gone before

ABOUT ME

well I'm a little crazy, i love to drink beer and nice expensive liqueur's, to smoke Norwegian tobacco, and green things on occasion. I enjoy being active, since i am a little hyperactive. Activities include bike party, camping, biking in the sun, mountaineering, hiking, backpacking, snowboarding, water skiing, jumping in place, reaching my goals, finding new goals to attain, playing in the mud, the beach during a storm, the chaos machine, blaspheming the world religions, and on occasion I'm a little bite of an anarcho-hedo-nihilistic personality, mostly during the summer and Christmas. i read, and write and know how to do math. love art and happen to create a lot of it, using acrillics, watercolors, newspapers, wax, paper, pencils, pens, rulers, nature. . .whatever.

PHILOSOPHY

Politics: Democratic-Socialism, Religion: redefining personal religious belief, will update soon. for now we'll say "Deist".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by, constantly striving for a better understanding of international communities(most especially those which are less accessible to common American culture). By accepting people into your home, (people) you would otherwise never come into contact with, one can eventually help educate others on how to communicate with individuals from "foreign" communities. This is how i participate. Through finding a better way than fighting, to settle dispute between people, and culture.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couch surfing is like a window, a small view of a person or persons; in just one meeting, you not only get to open yourself up to strangers to "see" you, but you can get the perfect glimpse of how other people live, what there interests are and the roll culture plays in there everyday lives. Through this small glimpse one can see the entirety of a person. All you have to do is see there pictures, hear there music and converse with honest intent. The experience you leave with is fulfilling in its own, and could almost dwarf the trip you are one, the trip that led you to someone elses world.
