CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world on a fixed amount of money, seeing if I can work as I go in order to attain a new nomadic lifestyle.

ABOUT ME

I'm a friendly, fun-loving guy who wants to find his place in the world. I've worked a string of roughly 2 year jobs for the past 15 years, with a few years of University mixed in. I've studied computer science and Anthropology. I've done study abroad in Wales for a year, traveled to Mexico and Guatemala in 2007 and 2008, and more recently Argentina. I'm hoping to travel for longer this time, and possibly find a new place to call home for a while.

PHILOSOPHY

I think expectation is the primary cause of unhappiness in the world. I try to keep an open mind at all times, and not expect things of people. I try to see the world through others' eyes, and I enjoy finding new ways to look at things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only ever couchsurfed through groups that I'd previously met online, primarily through online gaming.

Interests

Craft beer, hiking, meeting new people, and exploring places that are new to me. I love seeing the world through other peoples' eyes, and learning new ways for looking at myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen a shamanistic healing in Mexico. I've run down the slopes of an erupting volcano in Guatemala. I've experienced an unplanned night with the homeless community in Milan, Italy.
