CURRENT MISSION

"I see my path, but I don't know where it leads. Not knowing where I'm going is what inspires me to travel it."- Rosalia de Castro

-I'm always up for a good time doing whatever
-I'm an adventure/adrenaline junkie without a doubt
-I love my freedom and I love traveling!
-I'm addicted to Racquetball!
-I'm pretty much an open book, you ask, I answer, nothing is off limits
-I'm much more interested in the people I meet & the experiences I have than sight seeing and things like that
-I'll do damn near anything for my friends and family.
-I will go out of my way not to take the same route twice
-The Green Bay Packers are the closest thing that comes to me worshiping a deity.
-With each passing day I'm converting myself from an introvert to an extrovert although I may never make the complete transformation
-I'm still finding out a lot about myself.
-I am always up for a new experience & always want some story to tell
-I like meeting new people
-Get a few drinks in me and I can be a party animal

-Definitely a kid at heart

PHILOSOPHY

http://i.imgur.com/N9tju.jpg.jpg
Life is about making memories, friends, and experiencing as much as possible.
Do what makes you happy
A life without travel is a boring life indeed
You'll be happier about the mistakes you made and the lessons you learned from them than you will about the chances you didn't take and the experiences you didn't have.
Waiting on someone else to have an adventure has but one outcome: No Adventure

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate in couchsurfing in so mmany different ways. I use it as a network to meet and help expats as well as to be helped. I also surf and host in couchsurfing whenever I have the ability to do so. Couchsurfing is all about paying it forward and mmeeting travelers and making connections. I think couchsurfing is a godsend for the traveling commmunity, allowing us to communicate in ways we werent able to before. I like to spread good travel tips as well and just be as friendly as possible to everyone and if I can guide new couchsurfers to being a good member of the couchsurfing community.

My experience has been so amazing! I'm so glad I found this site and if I had the choice between paying for a hotel and paying to Couchsurf, I would pay to Couchsurf. You're talking about a community where you get to meet and stay with travel nerds from all over the world. To be able to be part of this community and connect with people all over the world with the common bond that is travel is something I'm truly grateful for. I love Couchsurfing and I can't wait to do more! I really want to host my first surfer.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a very basic knowledge of a lot of things. Basically I'm a dabbler. I dabble here, I dabble there and right as I'm about to turn the corner on a concept, I get bored and move onto something else. If I followed through with things, I might actually know some shit. My head is always spinning with all kinds of things I'd like to learn. I rarely spend enough time on a subject or topic to learn it extensively. Except sports, I'm crazy for that shit.

I can share hugs, I'm pretty sure by the definition of a hug both parties have to share it.......

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share positive energy, my passion for languages and of course I nice gift with their personalities in mind!
