CURRENT MISSION

Explore as many places as possible and meet plenty of new people along the way...

ABOUT ME

I am a little bit timid at first but am really trying to overcome this. I love the outdoors and just trying to add as many meaningful experiences to my repertoire as possible. I consider myself to be really easy going and I definitely love to have a good time doing pretty much whatever.

PHILOSOPHY

I have a lot of long term goals laid out for myself but I also like to live in the moment. I guess my main philosophy on life is that we're not around all that long and that we owe it to ourselves to make the most of every day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm not going to lie; I'm pretty nervous when it comes to the idea of arranging to meet with people through a site such as this. However, I truly want to experience as much of what this world has to offer and to meet all kinds of people from all kinds of backgrounds.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm still pretty much a novice at this whole CS thing...but I have "surfed" a little bit in Europe and helped out whenever my housemates were hosting during college.

Interests

I love traveling, exploring the outdoors and learning new and exciting things. I'm also really into scuba diving and rock climbing. I love cars and the thrill of blazing down the freeway when there's no one around. My dream car is a 1968 Shelby GT500KR, but at this point in my life, I'll settle for pretty much anything that runs. I have also dabbled in a few other things like sailing, sky diving, rafting and dirt biking.

I studied Business Management and Econ in College and am trying to get something going in the banking/accounting world...we'll see what happens though!

I have also loved architecture and buildings since I was a kid, so a lot of my travel goals include seeing various architectural landmarks of the present and the past.
