I'm a guy that has found out, at age 19, that I don't want to lead a life of spending money on education in something I might not love with all my heart to find a job that might only be mediocre, and then live in a house that isn't truly a home. I want to live off of the beaten path by diving into adventure, pursing knowledge that is both interesting and useful in more ways than one . I want to pinpoint my ever-growing philosophies and become someone who can always stand out to those that I will be fortunate enough to call friends. I want to grow as a person, and I believe that travelling and making friends out of kind strangers is a huge step, whether it's just a town over or a completely different country.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make friends, to show I'm a trustworthy, respecting guy who only wants to grow and help others along the way. When I'm driving around, I see so many beautiful houses and neighborhoods- no matter the dollar amount listed on each building- and while I always appreciate architecture, the surrounding nature, and so on, I feel as if the true, unique beauty comes from those features combined with the characteristics of those who reside inside. They're the ones that make that property it's own unique little space in the world, and I always feel honored to be invited in, even if only for a night.

Interests

Travelling of course, writing, researching, photography, skating, biking, hiking, adventure, parkour, talking deeply with friends or strangers, making new friends, movies, philosophy, animation and video design, all kinds of music, camping, living minimally and on the go, and the list goes on and on and gradually less specific.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Figured out more deeply, who exactly I am. It is still a work in progress, but me 3 years ago in high school would have just gone with the flow of society, now I like to observe, help others in ways that society never really hits quite right, and develop myself from a more personal and educated viewpoint.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Kindness, helping with chores, conversation, and always cleaning up after myself.
