About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world, learn about new cultures, drink beer in their local pubs, and be able to come back home saying, ("I've seen it all...I've done it all....and I can't find find no feeling like that)...Hey what can I say its a country thing

ABOUT ME

Well I'm a pretty straightshooting civil engineer who plays rugby, works out, and basically lives a pretty good fun loving life. Then one day sitting at my desk I realized that I worked my butt through school consistently achieving top honors wherever I went in whatever I did only to come this reality: "Holy Crap!!! Is this it!! you work all your life so that you can work even more, never to see the light of day from your office cubicle." So I decided one day to quit my job to travel the world for about 3 months with no responsibilities, a general plan, but no set specifics, and total freedom to go, see, and do as I wished. It was awesome!!! Things couldn't have worked out better. Upon returning, I decided to hold out for my perfect dream job before committing to work again. After 3 months, I found it! Now I'm working as a marine civil engineer at one of the biggest cruise ship ports in the world, and live in a palacial house not more than 100 yards from the beach on which I surf at least once a week (another passion I picked up while traveling). My goal from the trip was to come home with a real appreciation and knowledge of the world, plenty of stories, adventures, and misadventures, and friends located all around the globe. And pretty much, thats how it all worked out. Now I'm back in the U.S. so if anyone needs a place to stay, feel free to hit me up.

PHILOSOPHY

"Live life like their is no tomorrow because one day there won't be."

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I enjoy helping people out and making new friends. I am now back in the U.S.. I consider it my obligation to help out others as I have been helped in the past by showing people staying with me around town and doing what I can to make their time enjoyable.
