About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn things that you can't read in a book.

ABOUT ME

Well I am just about to finish high school and am not quite sure what i want to do with my life, I do quite enjoy art and am almost certain that I will follow a career in it. I just don't think I'm ready to go to college yet. Beyond art I took great intrest in physics. I play water polo and swim, but at the moment am not participating in either, though I have recentally taken up rock climbing. I am a life guard at the local pools and have recentally received my Water Saftey Instructer ceritfication, alowing me to teach certain classes based around saftey, and teach swimming classes to kids.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't be afraid to do what you want, the only restraints on life are what you make them to be.
Tolerance is the only way to acheive anything, keep an open mind.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

As I mentioned before art, anything art.
I also enjoy walking around, just a simple walk does wonders for me.
