About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience everything life has to offer and meet people with similar goals

ABOUT ME

Most people live their lives trapped in a comfy little box, I put C-4 in mine and kicked it off a cliff.

I'm the kind of person that will ski all day, dance all night, and still want to do more. I can't stand just sitting around on the couch all day, it's such a waste. I'm all about living life to the fullest and experiencing everything it has to offer. I will always be up for a crazy adventure or a night on the town.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a series of moments, and what matters most is who you spend those moments with and what experiences you gain from them.
The way I see it, most people seem content to just watch others live their lives, stuck in their own routines, never trying to broaden their horizons. That's just not me. I love trying new things, traveling to new places, and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm still kind of new to CS, but I want to help out and host whenever I can. I love to meet up with other surfers and show people a good time. I'm currently helping setup and coordinate local CS events.
I am traveling to Europe August 1st-September 13th and would love to just meet up with fun people and see what Europe is all about. Who knows I might even do some surfing ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing experience I've had recently was visiting the deer park in Nara, Japan.
The park is packed with hundreds of deer, and you can freely feed and pet them, but what’s even cooler is that they are trained to respond to hand gestures. If you signal that you have food, they will come up to you and BOW in gratitude before and after you feed them.

Not gonna lie, it felt pretty amazing to have an entire herd of deer bowing to me as I fed and pet them.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach: Salsa Dancing, Swing Dancing, Web and Database Design, Programming, Massage, Ice Skating, Fencing, Basic Parkour, etc.
