I am a 24 year old male vegan on the search to living a happy and fulfilling life. I look at life as a journey where you are constantly learning new information about yourself and the world around you. Meeting all different types of people helps shape and define who you are as a person, and can help give you a greater sense of purpose.

While I enjoy the journey of life, I am also feel very strongly about being comfortable in the space that I am in; I enjoy being outgoing and meeting new people, but I also cherish the time that spend alone with just myself. Life is about balance, and I feel we need to remember that while our individual journeys are, in the grand scheme of things, short, it is important to take the time to relax and understand the value of getting to know ourselves and the space that we have created.

I am looking forward to meeting the many faces that the universe has prepared for me to cross paths with!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing to form relationships with people from all over the world! I have a desire to explore new areas and places, even in my own country, and I believe that Couchsurfing will be able to make my dream come to fruition.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My girlfriend and I went skydiving in July of 2014! It was an incredible experience, and I highly recommend it. Nothing beats hanging your legs over 13,000 feet in the air just before the drop. Talk about exhilarating!

I ran a 27 minutes 5k! Running one under 30min was a huge goal of mine; I'm really proud of myself for this :)
