ABOUT ME
There are two sides to me. Most days I spend my free time being a calm and collective person. I usually work(I repair decks for a friend of my father) monday through friday, exercise and spend time with my close friends. Then there is the adventurous, wild and party side of me. I can go out to the bars and have one beer or I can go shot for shot with you. I'm down to try anything once as long as it doesn't involve gag-balls or Zac Efron (both of which creep me out). I live a very active lifestyle. I try to run just about everyday, and I like to play basketball whenever I get the chance. I love to snowboard, and just about anything else that involves mother nature. I love all types of music and could sit around all day listening to it. My favorite activity in the world is to ride motorcycles. I have had two, and I just bought my third. The feeling or cruising on a motorcycle is something everyone has to experience. My motorcycle is what keeps me sane. I've tried many paths in my life and still feel very uncertain as to which path is right for me. I always felt like there is more out there than what is given to you. Being I have just finished my second year of college, I've decided to take a different path. I will be moving out to Los Angeles very soon to pursue my dreams, and see what the world has to offer me. I always hope for the best and believe that as long as I have dreams I have the potential to live a very fullfilling life. I love conversation and hope to meet some cool down to earth people through the couchsurfing experience. I can promise travelers a couch in a somewhat boring town, but I promise we'll have a good time.
PHILOSOPHY
What we do defines us. We only get one shot at this life, so why not do anything and everything we have ever dreamed of. I don't like to do things because I'm told to. I like to do them because they fit for me and who I am. The motivation for me living can we summed up into one word...passion.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm really a rookie to the couch surfing environment, but I believe having good intentions can go a long way. I'm not currently hosting but I intend to as soon as I move out to California in the next month. I plan to host as much as possible, and teach travelers whatever I have to offer.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have only had one couchsurfing experience. I had no idea even what couchsurfing was until January 2010. My friend Carolina and I were planning a ski trip up to Vermont, and thought why not check out Montreal, Canada for a night. Thats when Carolina introduced me to couchsurfing. She set up a night in Canada where we stayed with a couple of french canadians. I was skeptical about this whole project untill that night in Montreal. The kindness and generoisity of the hosts led to an unforgetable experience. We met three othewr travelers from Germany and Austria. It was such a positive experience and really gave me some perspective on life. I see this as the beginning of great experiences to come.
