About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To figure out why if he is a gorilla why is he called "Donkey Kong" Additionally...why am i the only one who seems to notice this?!?!?!

ABOUT ME

Tallish white guy. I am actually really introverted but i am working on interacting with other people so this should help. I do being alone really well but its not probably the best for me.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what you love and love what you do and i promise you you will never want to stop whatever it is that your doing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sorta new to this, Peace Corps buddies told me about this. Im all for new things and this looked ideal. So...here be me!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Music, Movies, and Books

For music Female Vocalists mostly. Amy Lee or Within Temptation...that sort of thing. Mostly though im pretty easy so long as my ears dont bleed from it being so damn loud!

For movies im a sucker for Fight Club and the Cowboy Bebop series (not a movie....but yea kinda a movie) also RWBY. Yang and Blake are such a couple

Books: Rule Number 5: No Sex on the Bus....i physically cant stop myself from laughing every time i read this.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumped out of airplane, rode 60 year old broken down trains, scuba dived the Similian Islands off Thailand, Kickbox trained, ate brussel sprouts and red wine with two beautiful women in the empty mansion of the President of Pratt University, 25 days alone on horseback with a guide in the Mongolian countryside in hunt of the reindeer people, getting drunk under the table by german girls at Starkbirfest, Wrestling at Naadam....i mean what do you consider "Amazing" exactly?

Teach, Learn, Share

Is it what a teacher teaches or is it what a student learns that ultimately matters when exchange of minds takes place? (dont think too highly of me. That was written by Matthew Stover in a Star Wars Book)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I live in a house about ten times too big for me. Its in a yard and theres always roosters crowing and dogs barking...oh and a couple of cats who like to hunt for mice. I have a mattress i can loan for overnights and down the road is a semi decent store to grab food and drinks. I have a private beach that i can get us to and i live about 5km from the famous Sua Trench....
