About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world and expand my horizons. The sky isn't even my limit.

ABOUT ME

A whirlwind of adventure and hills to climb with so many beautiful places in this world and so few days to see them. I'm closing to the next step in life of settling down but I am not there quite yet. If I settled down today I would always regret not doing seeing more of the world.

I need to travel, meet people, see Roman architecture, lay in the Greek sun, learn French, go to the Netherlands to see the houses my parents were born in. We are given one opportunity to experience it all and I want to take advantage of it.

Laid back and funny with a dry sense of humour and I get along with everyone.

PHILOSOPHY

Do not let life pass you by.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just starting and planning to travel looking for a few couches to stay at.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Soon I can add things here.

Interests

History has always fascinated me from modern to the ancient world, it is amazing to see how the past created our present. The Roman Empire especially so I can't leave Europe without visiting Rome.

Traveling, live music, politics and seeing how the world ties together in a global spectrum. I love hearing different view points on topics to widen my own thoughts.

I enjoy hiking, sports, and great conversation with meaning because it is the best way to get know someone.

Music, Movies, and Books

For music anything from folk, rock, bluegrass, some pop.
I am a big movie fan and will watch pretty much all genres as long as it is a quality movie or a really well done popcorn flick.
Books: Shogun, Bourne series and other Ludlum novels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
