About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Im Going Out For a Breath of Fresh Air

ABOUT ME

I enjoy having intellectually stimulating conversations which sometimes you can find intellectualism in the simplest of things! I have always loved outdoor activities and sports so traveling seems a combo of both!
I also love listening and playing music, i have been fooling around with a guitar and harmonica which i find can be almost like meditation. Strangely enough I also enjoy the act of physical labor. Chopping wood for instance, its the visual gratification, the outdoors and the feeling of success when complete- so simple but so satisfying! I have just begun traveling around with just my backpack and a guitar, and am already convinced it was the best decision I have ever made.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe life is about learning, and that adding to your own personal experience enables you to become better in making decisions for your own personal life's path. And that in making better life decisions you then in turn help others as well in the process. I also have found that the Human Race has alot of hope for the good. In my traveling, I experience daily from strangers compassion and good will, and it makes me so happy to find this out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I feel that after i have really experienced what this site is all about that I will sign my couch up, I pride myself in always being willing to help people out with what ever it is they wish to accomplish

Interests

Im interested in finding where what i like to do day to day matches with something that I love to do- reference the phrase "love thy job and you will never work a day in your life." i also enjoy music, philosophy, sociology,
any outdoor sports, actually in truth I cant think of much that actually does bore me.

Music, Movies, and Books

Wes Anderson films, specifically The Life Aquatic and Darjeeling limited, James Clavell's books, i have always liked jim carrey movies too,(although i admit! some are pretty bad) Carlos Castenada is a strangely vivid writer, Music- Everything, although some types need to be in moderation..... I specifically enjoy classic rock, blues, folk rock, I feel that their is good songs in all music genres.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bungie jumping off of a bridge over a rocky river below was a pretty intense experience. Now that I am traveling with just a backpack and a guitar hitchhiking, walking, and busing I feel that this trip has become amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

i feel like i am a good listener and that I have a genuine wish to help other people. I would be open to helping out with misc. around-the-house/yard type labor jobs where I stay. For instance I actually enjoy chopping wood,yardwork/gardening.
