CURRENT MISSION

To explore the country on foot, meeting friends on the way and having a good time.

ABOUT ME

I am a peace loving, no good, dirty, hippie. I have socialist tendencies and I believe in God, however, I likely don't believe in your religious document of choice. That being said, I'm very open minded and prone to liking people with a good sense of humor. Also, I'm fond of intelligent and interesting people. I enjoy a good beer, hell, I even enjoy a bad beer once in a while. I enjoy traveling and find foreigners the most interesting sort of people. I like to play dance dance revolution!

PHILOSOPHY

You live once, why spend your entire life sitting around doing something that makes you unhappy? Why spend your life in judgement of others? Go out into the world and find peace in the fact that there are both great and terrible people. Do something exciting, do something fulfilling! And never look back.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by utilizing the fine system in order to not sleep out in the harsh world while I travel. I'm hoping to someday return the favor when I get a home of my own. I only recently discovered couchsurfing and have only done it twice, but I think it will change the world for the better!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I so far have couch surfed with my buddy Steve, and with Vince West. Nothing but positive experience thus far and will continue to utilize this site on my trip westward!

Music, Movies, and Books

Science fiction books, particularly Orson Scott Card but certainly not limited to him. Religious manuscripts and books about spirituality in general.

As far as movies go, I prefer comedies to most other genres, however my tastes are pretty diverse.

My musical taste is pretty unique; I like German industrial techno, Irish folk rock, Japanese and Korean Pop, Pop Rock, Ska, Hip Hop, Electronica, House, Techno, Easy Listening, Metal, to name a few. I am not fond of Country or Rap as a general rule but I am open to new music and even consider some Country and Rap to be great and among my favorites.
