CURRENT MISSION

Arrive and explore..... To enjoy the wilderness, have fun, and dig in!

ABOUT ME

I'm young but people have called me an old soul. I love to meet new people and find the really good ones. I am shy, always have been, but am learning that most people are which makes it easier, somehow. I love color, I try to surroud my self with it, my house is basically a canvas. I think that plants and fire are the two most nessecary things to make a room feel alive. Crystals are third, epecially when the sun is casting rainbows accross the walls. The best things to do are; go see live music and boogie down, go exploring in the wild, the redwoods, the coasts, or the cities, places you havn't been before... .construction sites are a lot of fun.

PHILOSOPHY

personal philosophies which I have gathered from various places

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm currently a couch surfer. I've met some really good folks, who have opened their homes to me and given me a place to stay on my travels. Later when I settle down somewhere I will be able to do the same.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had called up a friend of mine who was living nearby in Reno, NV. I asked him "Do you know anyone near Truckee that I might be able to stay with for a few days?" He told me that he only knew one person, and that he would give her my number so she could talk to me and maybe work something out. The next day I got a message from this girl he had called, and she was practically freeeking out. The message went something like this
"Oh my god! I can't believe it is you! Of course you can stay at my house...., I thought I was never going to see you again, Of course, call me back I'm so glad Nate called me!"
It turned out that this girl was a friend of mine from before and we hadn't seen eachother in several months, and didn't have eachothers #'s, but as it worked out she was living in Truckee, and our mutual friend was able to reconnect us, whithout one another even knowing that he had known the other.
