About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To seek out new life and new civilizations. (cliché i know, but i can't change what i am i.e. a bit of a nerd)

PHILOSOPHY

A simple label would be agnostic-atheist. Agnostic because I don't pretend to know what's going on and atheist because whatever is true, I don't think any "gods" exist. There may be a being/beings of greater power than humans, but I don't think they're as perfect as they so often claim.

That being said, I believe that if life is to have meaning one must derive it for onesself. Unfortunately I have yet to do that for myself, so I'm just trying to get by until I find something that suits me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope to get a couch soon, but that's not looking hopeful. However, I do plan on surfing and hosting as soon as possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hope to begin filling this section very soon, but in the famous words of John Paul Jones, "I have not yet begun to surf!" I'm pretty sure that's what he said . . .
