Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To get by with a little help from my friends!
ABOUT ME
I am laid back and like having a good time. I don't really care about seeing sites in a new city, but instead enjoy the whole experience of meeting the actual people who live there.
I love American Football and I like a good beer. I don't smoke cigarettes, but I do enjoy the occasional cigar.
I am not very good at describing myself in words and would much rather meet you, so that you can decide in real life rather than internet life :).
PHILOSOPHY
You must take care of yourself first, because how could you ever help those you love if can't help yourself.
I don't consider myself religious, but do believe in a higher power call her what you will. And yes that higher power must be feminine because only a female would have the patience to deal with all of us misfits.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Here and there and everywhere in between.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have not hosted yet because nobody comes to Riyadh! Actually it is very hard to get a visa and there is no tourism here so visitors are few and far between, but that will all change as soon as I get back to the states.
I have attended a few events and even surfed once. All of these experiences have been fantastic!
Interests
I am interested in seeing the world and experiencing life. I enjoy good food and good times.
- dining
- beer
- traveling
- american football
- soccer
- tourism
Music, Movies, and Books
I like many authors from Hemmingway to Rice and all genres from Historical Fiction to Fantasy. I have recently discovered Descartes, very good. I will pick up and try to read just about anything. Just doesn't mean I will finish reading it.
I love comedies. The Wedding Crashers, The Anchorman Ron Burgundy, pretty much anything in that genre.
But my all time favorite movie is "The Quiet Man" What's not to love about that movie. Guy goes back to his roots, drinks some beer, finds a girl, drinks some beer, fights her brother, drinks some beer, makes up with the brother and they all drink beer.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Who can say what is amazing! Watching the birth of my daughter, kissing a girl, laughing with a friend.. I don't know I think it's all pretty amazing!
I also find it amazing that I have been able to travel in my life and see things that many people from my hometown will never see.
