About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find what's important in life. Then the more difficult one, where it is.

ABOUT ME

Me, I'm just your average guy who likes to rock out and have some fun. Casual settings, more personal are ideal. I moved to Europe when I was 20 and 3 years later headed back to America. Now I'm back and now I'm back out on the adventure known as my life. Why? To see what life is all about. Life is more than we really think. There's so many things to experience, but the question is, is it worth it? Is it the most important thing. That's what you have to find out for yourself. I'm getting closer, but still not there yet.

PHILOSOPHY

Life? You live your life trying to find it. Live it. Life is too short to not enjoy it. Find the beauty in any situation. Why do people always have to look at the negative? Be real, and honest, and above all, experience love. Cuz can you imagine life without love? One of my best friends told me that, and she was right. Life would be so sad with it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've enjoyed it. Couches are definitely better than airports and train stations, of which I have spent my tenure in. Hosted a few guys who hitchhiked from Poland. Great experience. I've also surfed with several people in Romania, Turkey, and Montenegro

Interests

Talking, listening to good music, thunder storms in the summer, walking in the nature, being with people who make me happy
