Resumen
Sobre mí
Hi,
not entirely sure what to write here so I will probably just ramble until I think there are enough words on the page, and i am now realizing the hardest part of this is figuring out where to start. My plans right now are to travel, and I know that may sound vague, but it is honestly as detailed as I can be with what I am doing, as I am more or less making this up as I go. If I wanted to be completely cliche about it, I could say I'm more or less going where the wind takes me, but that actually sounded a lot better in my head than in writing so I will probably never again describe it that way beyond this write up.
I am the type of person who is entirely open to any situation that is thrown my way, and will gladly and graciously take part in any new experience offered to me. Recently finished a trip solo backpacking through Ireland for some 33 days, honestly surprised it turned out as well as I never really bothered to plan out more than a day or two ahead, hell most mornings I wouldn't know where I would be later that night. As long as I had the bare essentials to stay alive (eg. shelter, food, clothing) and a good book to read, I was content with life. So suffice to say, I am not a picky person in the slightest.
I would also say that I am a very social person, if only for the fact that I love to listen to and tell stories, and the best way to create new memorable stories are with good natured people by your side. It more or less is what drives me and makes me do the things I do, and I've always thought the times where everything goes exactly as planned, end up making for the worst stories.
Just want to add in that thanks to a couple of years in the construction industry working as an electrician I get a certain joy out of fixing things for other people as well, so if you have any small job that you need done let me know and I'll be more than happy to help if I can!
Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing
Meet people, exchange stories, go on adventures. Whether in that order or not I won't complain!
Intereses
I read, probably more than is healthy, in fact it can be a bit of a problem, even now as I type this up, I am staring at my current book across the bed and trying my best to ignore it until I have this profile up and running. Other than that I enjoy being active, and also not being active. So i will gladly go run a half marathon one day, then sit and watch awful movies while eating fantastically greasy food the next. I enjoy cooking, especially for big groups, always trying to do a big cook up with as many friends as often as possible

Música, películas y libros
Ah god this is a loaded question, as I more or less could go on about those categories for ages. I'll try to boil my summary down to the essentials, otherwise you might be reading for a while.
Books- As of this instant, I'd say my favorite book would be Name of the Wind, only way I can describe it is a mix of the universe of Game of Thrones with the story telling of Harry Potter. It is really, really good and I have never met someone who didn't rave about it after reading.
Movie- If you haven't already, I would recommend watching a movie called Starbuck, it's a French Canadian movie that was released a couple of years ago and it's just the kind of movie that you feel good after watching. Also Seven Psychopaths is a genius film that still has me picking up on things everytime I watch it.
Music- Honestly enjoy everything and anything for music, except country, I spent a good chunk of time working in Alberta, which is like the Texas of Canada, and after months of exposure to country music I just can't listen to it anymore. It's odd because I actually really like the music portion of most country songs, it's the lyrics that usually kill it for me. Just a few too many songs that have a guy singing about his truck or what a real hard cowboy he is.
Algo increíble que he hecho
Camped on the Cliffs of Moher, about a couple feet from the edge which, looking back, probably wasn't the best idea I've ever had. Got a good story out of it though!
