ABOUT ME

I feel as if someone that knows me should be writing this part. I am told that I am a very calm and easy going person. My outlook on life is extremely open and accepting, although, I do have my own ideas about my philosophies. I love to congenially argue in discussion. Usually I have a backdoor type of view, and will defend my ideas, but never in a way that says, "I am right, and you are wrong." I am competitive in my own way and love to play games and sports. I live simple and peaceful, but I am always in the mix of things. People come to me for advice, because I am honest and listen to every aspect of every situation. I love people and conversation. I love to talk and listen. It's hard to get me to talk about me, since I am just interested in everyone else.

PHILOSOPHY

My whole philosophy on life comes from this ambiguously simple, yet ever complicated, saying, "When making tea, make tea. When making rice, make rice."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to travel, and, better yet, meet those who are traveling. I like to share the satisfaction of new culture. I have a family now and am no longer able to host surfers. But, I would enjoy to meet up for idea trading. I am at the University of Cincinnati most days, so I am pretty central.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been on hiatus with couchsurfing.com for the last 5 years or so. I used it a lot before I had an account traveling with others.

Interests

Come see me to figure them out. I have a squirrel effect. I want to be into everything. My attention seems to run all over the place, so my interests are ever changing. I usually have many thoughts running in my mind at once.

• culture
• running
• cycling
• sports
• physics

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I made a human. And, he's pretty amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

My life is a forum for learning. I would love to meet ever more people, so I can extend my knowledge about people as a whole. Everyone, no matter who, has something to bring to the table.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have many travels and stories. I have wisdom and knowledge now that I would love to give away.
