CURRENT MISSION

Living life with no boundaries.

ABOUT ME

It's been a crazy last 5 years, effectively living on my own since I was 14. Went to College back east in a Pre-Med scholarship program, but cut that short after a semester when I realized I really just need some time away to breathe and experience some of the amazing things this world has to offer.

I'm planning on travel the world by 21, and then back into school

I'm really open minded, and I'm pretty much down to try anything within reason of course ;)

PHILOSOPHY

A Painting is simply a dirty canvass: at any point you can start over.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

If you're gonna look back and laugh on it ten years from now, then why not laugh at it now?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope to one day be able to host people, but until that time comes I'd love to show people around my home town, and I'm always down to meet up with fellow CSers for a kickback :)

Interests

Sports are a big part of my life, Soccer, Basketball, Martial Arts and Lacrosse sre the main ones, and I'm always lookin for a pick-up game.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I came across the country from DC to California via car with 2 friends in 36 hours, with 0$ in my pocket and now I have a place to call home and food on the table. If nothing else I'm happy to know I can provide for myself, amidst all the amazing experiences I've had in the last 6 months.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to think that education isnt confined to a classroom and that even though I might be taking a year or two off from school, I never plan to stop learning.
