Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Live, love and learn. I am working towards creating a positive impact upon all those around, and being a generally warm and open person.
ABOUT ME
I consider myself a freethinker, an explorer and a wanderer. I am curious about most everything. I am from Oregon, and i like rain.
And i'm a little bit tall and hairy.
PHILOSOPHY
“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”
-Jack Kerouac
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have currently been unable to because of my travels, i just spent 4 months in Mongolia, and now i'm living in a dorm at school in rural ohio, which does not warrant much for couch surfing. But hopefully in the future I will be able to give back.

Teach, Learn, Share
