CURRENT MISSION

To get skills doing anything anywhere and experience life... get outa the comfort zone

ABOUT ME

A Student going through an early life crisis figuring out exactly what I want do in life.

New to the whole Couch surfing thing... need to start somewhere. I am hoping to surf my way around Europe for 2010 and then reciprocate by hosting once I get a place of my own.

Want to do the Europe thing after I came to France to follow the Tour De France in 2007 and had the best experience of my life, making friends for life. Hopefully 2010 will top that.

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing truly worth doing is easy .
You should never go back the same way you went or else you will never experience anything new.
Wisdom consists in knowing what to do with what you know.

But I love a good philosophical debate. Feel free to start one with me!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Am brand new to couch surfing so I will surf a bit and then host once I have a place of my own

Intereses

Will try anything and grow to love it if I stick at it for long enough. But current interests are cycling (a lot of cycling), running (when I don't have a bike), water skiing, architecture & engineering (want to do what Santiago Calatrava has done), blowing glass (want to learn how), can play the french horn and a tiny bit of piano. I love music and go through phases of my favourite type of Music but they will generally always be either Chilled guitar or jazz music or Dance and Trance music, that is one thing I cannot go long without. My music collection (but I am open to anything).

If you are passionate about something and want to force it upon somebody then I am your man. I am willing to try out anything and give it a fair shot.

Oh and Food. I love food.

Música, películas y libros

Movies: too many to name. I can watch anything, and could count the number of times I have fallen asleep while watching movies on one hand.

Books: I don't do enough reading, but enjoyed Tania, Pillars of the Earth, and Raymond E. Feist. But again will read anything if recommended and I have the time/motivation to do so.

Music: Parents are both classic musicians so I have grown up listening to the piano basically every day of my life... So for a change of scene I adopted House and Trance 'music' but enjoy anything with guitar from Jack Johnson to the Kaiser Chiefs to Miike Snow to Barcelona (the band) to Bon Iver to Citizen Cope to Dave Brubeck to the Cinematic Orchestra and finish up with Shapeshifter (awesome New Zealand band). Basic rule of thumb If you could go to sleep to it I will enjoy it.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Alot but I can't really remember it. Need to start to keep a journal.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I know how Carbon Fiber works if you want to learn about that. I have knowledge in Cycling, Rugby and music and I can pretend to know a little bit about everything.

Would love to learn how to fix and work on an engine, But knowledge is power apparently so talk to me about anything.
