CURRENT MISSION

To live in the present but with a healthy anxiety for the future

ABOUT ME

T.J. O'Brien is friendly, well-spoken, smart, fit, really cool, and loves to write condescending third person descriptions of himself. Just kidding. I am currently traveling through Europe with my best friend from high school. We started in Scotland, then Copenhagen, Berlin, Heidelberg. Next its Amsterdam, then Paris and Bordeaux. After that, I'm planning on working on a farm in Spain for one month.

PHILOSOPHY

In the end the love you take is equal to the love you make.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am currently traveling, but when I return home my college dorm room will hopefully host some surfage.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed in Costa Rica with Tom Limmer. I worked on a farm for a semester while I was there. Tom actually helped me to find the farm!

Algo increíble que he hecho

Spontaneous trip to Canada. That was amazing.

I've been traveling through Europe and it has been excellent thus far. I particularly loved Copenhagen.

I worked on an organic farm in costa rica for a semester.

I work in a fine dining restaurant that has a farm on the property. It is called Blue Hill at Stone Barns. This work has influenced my attitude towards cooking and the environment.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Preparation is the key to success. This is easier said than done. Be proactive and don't waste days. Be self-aware. I hope to learn more about myself through careful intropsection. Traveling helps this process.
