"We gaze continually at the world and it grows dull in our perceptions. Yet seen from another's vantage point, as if new, it may still take the breath away."
- Dr. Manhattan, Watchmen

traveler from St. Augustine, Florida in the United States. I can be sort of a shy guy sometimes but I'm always willing to listen and if you ask me anything i'll give you an honest answer, I'm truly interested in people's stories and lives and what they share.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here primarily to meet new people, I've always found that people living in the area are a far more reliable source of fun than a map or a brochure.

Interests

I'm a bit of a nerd. I like all things science fiction, film, games (let me know if you play Super Smash Bros) , chess, philosophy and art.

I love cycling, climbing, hiking and Table-Tennis (though I'm not very good at it) other than that I'm not a big sports fan.

That all being said, one of my biggest interest is trying new things. I'm always down to learn something new.
