About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To challenge my fears and the person within me that says no

ABOUT ME

About me...

I have done some travel through out Asia and Europe and I lived in Australia for a year. I want to go back.

I have times of being out going and not. I love with a deep passion snowboarding. So if you like the sound of my slightly high pitched voice ask me about that lol.

I enjoy the outdoors and being active.

I am sad to say I was a horrible student in school but now I love to learn! I don`t mind talking about quiet a few different subjects.

I am a fan of dorky jokes and anime. So my time in Japan was amazing!!!

I am not a good cook as to being new to wanting to learn it, but I enjoy it none the less.

I love dark beer and dogs.

I am scatter brained a bit of the time.

PHILOSOPHY

I find this one ever changing with who I am at the time in my life. One basic priciple has followed me through the times and that one is love ans respect.

I try to treat people with love the way I would want to be treated. There are many different personalities in the world each one unique, so I like when people get together in a group and make each other feel comfortable and loved for who they are, not what the masses think we should be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love the gatherings, they really bring like minded people together and that is what this is all about. The couchs are just the bonus, the people I meet along the way and get to stay in contact with after we part ways is the golden egg.

Being a tourist is alright but getting that local point of view rocks!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far all have been amazing!

Interests

Snowboarding, motorcycles, anime, beer, a variety of music however 90`s rock and folk music is my personal favorite.

The obvious one being travel I guess lol. Although sometimes I find that one hard to say when the times are pressing. Then it all bounces back haha.

Music, Movies, and Books

As for books,
Harry Potter
Sherlock Holmes
Game of Thrones
Shantaram

Movies:
I am a movie lover at heart. I love kid movies all the way to horror if done with class. I don't really watch too many action movies and the gore/slasher films are out.

Music:
I am ever changing here as well, my musical tastes go hand in hand with the experience that I am having when I hear the song. I always tie my like for a band or song to how I felt when I first heard them.
