CURRENT MISSION

To master the art of being a class act human being and student of the world.

ABOUT ME

I'm 22 years old. I'm currently in college and studying nothing in particular. I think about trying to get into the film business, but I hate business.

PHILOSOPHY

Love isn't LOVE until you give it away.
Playing it cool just makes you cold.
The more it hurts, the better the lesson.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just want to connect with world. Take the good with the bad, have a drink with many, and never miss a brilliant sunset.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only been hosted by two different couchsurfing hosts in Scotland. Both were incredible and my biggest regret from my Euro tour was that I didn't do more couchsurfing!

Interests

I want to find a line of work that connects me to everything and everybody. Like a global bartending diplomat, if that is at all possible.
I love film for it's collaborative power to fulfill every aspect of emotion. Drinking. Exploring all sorts of literature and music.
The moments when the last thing you can do is laugh. More drinking. Writing. Lots of games and--drinks.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

...In Munich, I once saw a huge Mastiff dog sitting inside a SMART car. It lunged at the window as we walked by and almost rolled the car over onto the sidewalk...

Teach, Learn, Share

Contrary to a 12 year old's and his buddies' beliefs, a portable public toilette does in fact ignite when introduced to small amounts of rocket fuel and strike anywhere matches. Furthermore, attempting to prove said false belief will result in criminal prosecution...on the second try.

Stop to smell the roses, then pick them and give em' to someone pretty. You'll live longer and flowers grow back.
