About Me

CURRENT MISSION

C'est la Brie!

ABOUT ME

I am a pretty easy going guy. Grew up in California and I'm eager to experience new places. Life is all about experiences. Good or bad, it's still an experience. I recently graduated from University of California, Santa Barbara and now I'm taking this opportunity to see parts of Europe. I don't want to be a tourist though, I want to blend in and experience what real life is to other people. "What you end up regretting is not the things you have done, but the things you haven't done"

PHILOSOPHY

Do you see what's going on? How am I supposed to take this too seriously?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Great experiences couchsurfing with people in Amsterdam, Bordeaux, and Barcelona. Every place we stayed and every person we met was so different, unique and open. I am grateful for the friends I have made and the things I have learned. I hope they all come visit me soon!

Interests


Mischief, exciting moments, outrageous conversations, meeting new people and making friends, staying up late and sleeping in, sessions and then listening to music before bed, making people smile, making people come in for a real hug when their handshakes and hugs feel contrived, messing with minds and having mine messed with, the good moments and the bad moments, calling buffalo on people, being deviant, trying to read but getting distracted by irresistible moments, having a poignant urge to make the world more progressive, putting mlk and jfk speeches on loop, getting up and going on trips on short notice with just a crammed backpack full of non-matching dirty clothes, being OK with taking a shot and missing, trying to absorb new concepts, the endless curiosity, having trouble with authority, being uncertain about the future but feeling OK about it, resting on grass, dancing, partying, good food and wine.
