About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Seeing the world through anothers eyes.

ABOUT ME

I am a student of the world. I am currently at studying German and Politics in Tübingen in southern Germany.

I am from a suburb of Los Angeles, Calfornia and I attend Humboldt State (when I am not in Germany)

I want to know you and your story (only if you want to share) and learn from you (only if you are willing to teach.)

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone has a story and everyone is entitled to share if they wish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am starting my surfing career and I when I get a stable couch situation I want to host as many people as I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am a noob to this entire expereince. I have heard positive (some crazy) stories from my friends and I want to have some of my own.

Interests

I am interested in Macro Photography (bugs, water, plants, etc) and street photography. I am a self trained photographer who is scared of attending a real class for fear that I will lose my own style.

I am interested in global politics and how it functions in the world...I want to know what other people think of the country I come from and what they think "we" should do. I want to know as many languages as possible so I can communicate with as many different people in their mother tongue.

Wine and chocolate.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am interested in ALL Music until I decide that I don't like. (I have decided that I don't like most American Country music.)

I am always looking for new music to broaden my musical horizons.

The funniest movie I have ever seen was "Noises Off"
The saddest movie I have ever seen was "Atonement"
The most ridiculous foreign movie I have ever seen was "Battle Royale"
The movie I could watch over and over again is "Pineapple Express"
(this is not all inclusive)

Some of my favorite books include: "Harold and Maude", The Diary of Adam and Eve (Mark Twain) "Of Ape and Essence" (Aldous Huxley), "Where the Sidewalk Ends" (Shel Silverstein), "Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass" (Lewis Carroll)....and more

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I watched a huge Thunderstorm light up the clouds and the night sky over Spain from an airplane at night.

Teach, Learn, Share

Be proud of who you are.

Ignorance is bliss but knowledge is power.

Everyone can judge but everyone can also accept.

You don't have to agree but you should at least listen.

The things that are important to you might not be important to the person standing in front of you.

Everything is going to be Okay.
