About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world, meet new people and make friends, and do good.

ABOUT ME

I just got back from the Peace Corps in Swaziland and I am currently working towards my next step, whatever that is.

People say I am nice, where ever I go. I am a hard worker and respectful of others. Good manners don't hurt at all.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't subscribe to any philosophy, mainstream or not, but I have values and priorities that echo those of established schools.

As far as I know, we only get one chance on this planet, better not waste it wanting but spend it doing.

More on this later as I get older.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have couches to spare and want to get on some new ones.

If anyone would like to spend time on my couch, I can offer a bit of direction and safety, as Trenton NJ is a bit rough.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just a little!

Interests

Working, I hate sitting still.

Education, when I stop learning I'd better be dead.

Being with my friends and family.
