About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy the moment

ABOUT ME

Once finished with my degree in history (I know...boring) I wanted to see the areas I spent reading about. Since then I have experience many cultures stretching through Asia, Central/Eastern Europe, Central America, etc. In these areas I was able to see ancient ruins, beautiful scenery, run with bulls, bungee jump, sky dive, snow board, etc. While all the time sharing these experiences with amzing people. I only hope that the future can only bring more of the same.

PHILOSOPHY

I have nothing original...I mainly quote lyrics from Coldplay songs or one liners from Anchorman

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

With couch surfing I hope to use it as more than a place to crash for the night. I look to meet people going through San Francisco as well as a way to connect with locals while abroad

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CS experience happened while in Estonia. Walking around in Tartu I ended up chatting with a group of people that ended up being a CS host going out with thier CS guest. They invited me to join them as we met the host's friends and ended up a great way to learn more of an area, country, and people.

Interests

Travelling is by far the interest that takes up most of the time. Everyonce in a while it will take me to areas where I can get into my other hobbies such as surfing, snowboarding, cycling, hiking, etc. On the chill times I will break out thee ol' ipod for a music break or catch up on a book I been putting off for way to long. But through all that the best parts are the random conversation that come up through the day. I am a big fan of jokes as well! Waitress usually have good ones to share which is great because I am a foodie.
