About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I enjoy breathing most of all. As long as I can do that, I am happy.

PHILOSOPHY

"Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination."
-Oscar Wilde-

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I recently moved to Jeju Island, South Korea. I used CS to make my first contacts here. I hope to host and travel the world using CS.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have many friends dispersed around the States and the world. I usually stay with friends when I travel, however I like to think of myself as a bit of an adventurer, so I am open to staying with strangers.

Interests

Breathing, exploring, hiking, snowboarding, Anything with 2 wheels and an engine, the first sunrise in a strange land, live music (any style as long as it's good), books, Chicago pizza, making new friends and keeping the good ones, putting a smile on a stranger's face, cold cuts, crossword puzzles, trees, good coffee, falling in love, red wine, strong cheese, hops, the sound waves make when crashing the shore, artistic expression and sleep.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho. It's kind of cheesy, but it really resinates. However, I'm always down to trade some books with other travellers...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I feel that every moment I am alive is amazing. I especially love all the visuals that the sky has to offer, be it stars or clouds. I am most awestruck by lightening storms.

Teach, Learn, Share

Happiness.
