About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To learn about the hidden natural treasures all over the world.
ABOUT ME
I am a very easy-going and accepting person. I am always eager to learn new things and in return for that knowledge help others in anyway. I really like to learn about such things as new music and good places to camp. In a nutshell I am trusting and trustworthy.
I truly enjoy learning about natural sciences especially biology. I also enjoy learning about new music because I am managing the college radio station at the Utah State University. The website is http://www.aggieradio.com. To find out more just message me on facebook http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=519093831&ref=name#/profile.php?id=519093831&ref=name
PHILOSOPHY
The best way to learn is to experience.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Anywhere I live, get to know the natural environment. I can promise any person who stays with me will get to know the ecosystem I reside in a little better than when they got there.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have couch surfed with very awesome hosts in San Francisco; Albuquerque, NM; Austin, TX; and New Orleans, LA and hosted people here at home as well. The closest experience I had to couch surfing before this was when I came out to California. I decided to take a roadtrip with friends from Kentucky to California with plenty of time to stop along very beautiful parts of the country that at the time were totally different from what I was used to back home. I stayed with many people that my friends knew but that I did not know in Colorado, Arizona, and California. The experience was amazing and I really did learn a lot from my experiences with these newly acquired friends. I now have acquired a healthy addiction to this sort of travel and want to do what I can to help.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Oddly enough the first thing I can think of is when I went to the San Diego Zoo and saw this large open display of monkeys. In this area there was also an otter. After watching the monkeys play for a while the otter decided he wanted to play also. So the otter tackled a monkey and they all played together. Amazing!
Teach, Learn, Share
Very willing to teach people about the natural side of things. I can hopefully expose people to new music. I can also tell you a lot about insects. :)
