About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to expand my horizons regardless of the situation.

ABOUT ME

I am a little bit of everything. I can have an intelligent conversation or I can talk about nothing. I also like to try new things and love to learn from people. I respect everyone. People find it easy to get along with me.
I haven't traveled out of the country much unfortunately. I would love to if my life will align. I am working on it. I have been to some rather obscure locations in the United States, however.
I like soccer a lot, which has always made me an outcast. In recent years I have found that community growing.
This sounds so formal but I don't live my life like that. I'm really easy-going and think that some of the best things in life aren't planned.

PHILOSOPHY

Passion without purpose is pointless.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently I am still a beginner. However, i will offer my couch and hope to be allowed the same "luxury." I've only stayed at two places. Luckily I am finally stationary and hope to also be involved with other locals on the site.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I do not have much experience but I have been afforded the ability to crash at a few places on trips through mutual friends, etc. Mainly it was just hanging out and talking and getting to know one another.

Interests

I am very laid back. I like outdoor activities, sports, card games, video games, running, cycling, and just hanging out.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a lot of different music genres, but I do like punk, rock, "post hardcore," etc. Usually if you can call it rock of any kind, I like it. I also like things that would be categorized as Indie, but honestly the genre thing is tough for me. Music is my spirituality and everyone can like what they want.
I read things like Choke, Catch 22, Everything is Illuminated.
I like movies of all types with Silver Linings Playbook, Perks of Being a Wallflower,Awakenings, Radio, and 10 Things I hate about you being near the top.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was able to become the first college graduate in my family.

One major accomplishment is my ability to personally raise $7000 for Relay for Life.

I drove across the country with only what would fit in a Eclipse stopping to see could things along the way, including stopping at Bonnaroo

Teach, Learn, Share

I am ignorant regarding tons of things in this world. I do not know some of the best places in this country. I have not seen the most stunning views.

I respect the devil's advocate and thing laughter is when we are all beautiful. Life is a beautiful thing.
