my full time job is preserving my youth...I have an unexplainable desire to see everything and know everyone... I don't know what is an empty promise is...I could go to school forever...When I look at pictures I get sad of those times have passed no matter what was going on...I love ordering pizza when your absolutely wrecked...I want a great live band at my funeral...I cant stand watching tv for long periods of time... I love the smell of fresh cut grass, girls hair and just before it rains...I hate the sound of alarm clocks, even if i'm already awake...I don't idealize athletes or the rich...best things in life arent things at all... conscious eater...I'm spontaneous, innovative, and passionate at the same time..I do not own a pair of white underwear...a day without orange juice is a day without sunshine...I'm creative but I'm not an artists...I love ducks and birds; especially a bird named Andrew...there isn't a culture, sport, music that I dont find interesting...I believe music is more then just sounds... I believe laughter is the preeminent medicine you can give someone...fireworks and running shirtless and shoeless on warm dew grass in the front yard define summer to me...I re-laugh at least once everyday..curious george is mad at me... I dream while I am awake and sometimes the entire world makes sense...I'm always in love...and I could die today and would be happy with my life I've lived.

PHILOSOPHY

To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted. - Bill Bryson

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I've had nearly three dozen couchsurfers and I've stayed at a few places throughout my time on CS. I love this site more than any website on the entire web because I get the chance to meet people from all over the world! I get to travel without leaving my living room couch. I simply listen to travelers experiences and live it through their eyes.

I can't tell you about my favorite couchsurfing experience, I mean how could I? Between the late night chats, rooms filled with 15+ people, or meeting couchsurfers again on the street in different countries, twice! These have been my experiences so far
