About Me

CURRENT MISSION

go places, meet people, do things

ABOUT ME

Hmmm... Defining myself in a few words - always a pleasure. Let's see:
I'm a curious, eccentric guy, with many eclectic tastes. I'm a city boy that loves the outdoors, a math student that wants to be a novelist, and above all a conversantionalist. Most people would say I'm "intense". I just say I like making the most out of every situation :) Guess you'll have to judge for yourselfs. I'm easy going, I'm always calm, and I do my best to stay happy :-) and make those around me happy as well... I'm also an aspiring author and conssumate reader, and i'm always looking for new people and experiences to enhance my writing with.

PHILOSOPHY

Only the tame birds have a longing; The wild ones fly

To know, and not to act, is not to know

Apathy is the glove into which evil puts its hand

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I went on a two day camping trip on the Aran Islands with thirteen other couchsurfers I have barely met before, taught them how to make a fire out of wet wood in the middle of a windstorm, and learned from them the true meaning of couchsurfing and the free spiritedness behind it :)
