About Me

CURRENT MISSION

finishing college and traveling in between

ABOUT ME

i'm a taurus, cook, poet, artist...i just love being outside with good people and good beer and enjoying life...learning about new places, the history and the art and the language and the people and everything. i want to go everywhere. i'm a very loyal friend and genuine person; i hate flakiness and small talk.

PHILOSOPHY

i just try not to worry about the past, to enjoy what i'm doing and who i'm with, and to appreciate what i have without complaining. i try to make good use of my time, and not to lay around too much, although lounging time is sometimes necessary. everything in moderation, including moderation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i highly doubt anyone will travel through morristown as there is not much here. there's a much better chance people will pass through asheville, where my school is located. i'd be willing to show people around the city and recommend cool places to go. unfortunately the dorm room doesn't allow for much extra sleeping space.

Interests

poetry, art, cooking, baking, eating, drinking, reading, photography, drawing, painting, records, old cars, long walks through nature, laying in the grass, swimming in rivers and oceans, riding bikes
