CURRENT MISSION

To live life full of optimism in spite of circumstances, and to share that (and the source of optimism) with others while travelling.

ABOUT ME

Quiet around new faces. Attention grabbing around close friends, but shy in larger crowds. Artistic, intelligent, and very compassionate. Am slowly creating a new political party for american politics. Consider myself more aligned with Europeans on most issues than Americans.

PHILOSOPHY

See above posts. If you're interesting in hearing more, have me over to your couch and I'll share more in depth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While on an overnight train to Venice, I met another traveler who had a phone number (given to him in Austria) to stay at a locals home in Venice. I joined him, and we had an amazing time staying in her home, eating a homemade meal, and exploring and spending the day together (teaming up with an Australian later that night for some more fun).
