CURRENT MISSION

Exploring the world and making friends around the globe!

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, to meet people from other places and other cultures, and to have a good time! I'm friendly, optimistic, and very easy going. I like to camp, hike, snowboard, go to the beach or the bar or a museum. I believe that there is a lot we can learn by meeting people who have a different experience in this world. I want to learn about you and where you're from, and tell you about my life and adventures as well!

PHILOSOPHY

There is something to be learned from everyone. The world is full of amazing people and places for those of us who are open to new things.

"My choice is what I choose to do, and if I'm causing no harm it shouldn't bother you. Your choice is who you choose to be, and if you're causing no harm then you're alright with me." -Ben Harper
"Despite my firm convictions, I have always been a man who tries to face facts, and to accept the reality of life as new experience and new knowledge unfolds it. I have always kept an open mind, which is necessary to the flexibility that must go hand in hand with every form of intelligent search for the truth." -Malcolm X

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I traveled around Europe, Couchsurfing to meet interesting people along the way. So far it's been a great resource.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met a lot of CSers in Paris, Amsterdam, Vienna, Budapest, and Cyprus. I have yet to host...

兴趣

People I've never met, places I've never seen, things I've never done... I'm pretty much up for anything. I like variety. I like talking about ideas and differences, and have found that drinking a beer can help. I like the beach and the mountains, the city and the countryside. Live music. I usually travel on a tight budget, but I want to do it all!

音乐、电影和书籍

I just read 'Travels' by Michael Crichton and loved it. Also enjoy Palahnuik, Orwell and Huxley, Clockwork Orange, Catch-22, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, and H.S. Thompson's Hells Angels. I like all kinds of movies, especially comedies, and all kinds of music, especially if I can see it performed live.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I went Parabungee jumping in Queenstown, New Zealand. This is where you start on a boat, then parasail behind it, and bungee jump from the parachute. You get picked up by another boat. It was awesome.

教，学，和分享

I've done quite a bit of traveling around the US, and some internationally. I've had jobs fixing cars, doing electrical work, and working in hospitality at some very nice hotels. I have a lot of experience, but no particular specialty. I'm really interested in learning what people from other countries think about Americans, and showing them the difference between American politics and American people.
