About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet many people, make many friends, see the world first hand instead of through books or the internet

ABOUT ME

I am a red head with a unique sense of life and humor. I love talking philosophy and anything that makes you think deeply. I haven't traveled enough in my life and that's why I want to do it more. Sometimes I feel trapped where I am because of my financial situation and personal situations so I heard about this website and I wanted to see if it will help me break out of my shell. I am a very nice and respectful person and try to be very considerate and will not do or say anything unless I know how it's going to affect anyone else.

PHILOSOPHY

CONSIDERATION and nothing else, do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

"In the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make."
- The Beatles

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to meet more people and introduce them to this website. If there's any traveler's that are in town I'd be glad to show them around and cater to them for a day. I want to make more friends in other places and have people I can rely on in other places and vice versa.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

not much yet, but hopefully I will gain more experience.

Interests

Weight Training, Racquetball, Hiking, Bike-Riding, Eating, Videogames (not as much now), Making Movies (hopefully professionally someday), Talking philosophy, talking in general, Knowing people, etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music, I'm really big into Electronica and anything techno: DJ Tiesto, BT, Way Out West, Paul Van Dyk. I'm also into any rock that sounds good.

Don't get me started on movies, you'll never hear the end of it.

I'm choosey about my books. Steinbeck is classic and good, recently I just read awesome George Orwell: 1984, Animal Farm.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been on some interesting hikes but I haven't done anything that I've wanted to yet. (mainly see everything outside of this town.)

Teach, Learn, Share

*Be considerate and giving.
*Respect peoples beliefs (These are the blocks that create those people)
*Do as much as you can for a person, listen and care about them if they are truly your friend.
*There are no strangers, anyone is a friend once you know their name.
*Trust can be broken, but life is too short to keep a grudge against someone.
*Love is the most sacred and unique trait that humanity has; abuse it, don't misuse it.
