About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning, growing and making new friends

ABOUT ME ( UPDATE: I GRADUATED WITH A DEGREE IN YOUTH MINISTRY)

Im a current student desiring to work with youth in the UK after graduating. Ive recently started going on hikes from time to time and hoping to do more of it. Im also slowly teaching myself piano. Its going slowly but hey its going. I love to sing but can be shy about it. I also love to cook for those that i care for or sometimes just to be nice.

PHILOSOPHY

if you can honestly say that you wont regret it in 5yrs from the date, its not illegal or immoral go for it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

WOW.. i was inviting surfers and hadnt realized that this was not updated.. ha ha .. ive long since moved out of the hostel and have an apartment... its a fair amount of room but woudlnt comfortably fit more than 1 surfer. I would prefer not to have couples but might make an exception. So i offer up my twin sized bed passing through.I also cook a hot meal for surfers when time permits and im feeling up to it...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I took that trip on June 30th 2009. had a blast. I surfed a couch in oxford, one in london and another in liverpool. all in all great experience and id totally do it again. hopefully once i graduate ill be able to do lots more traveling. For now I just offer the space that I have to those who need it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i was afraid of heights but traveled an 11 hr flight .. with the aid of scotch.. and also hiked some pretty high places in breccons beacons.. wales is just completely amazing. and i flew all that way because i was in love.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmmmm im not quite sure what to put here now.. so .. maybe ill come back and fill it out later.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well even though i live here i cant really be your tour guide. im not sure what there is to do here. when i was out i spent most of my time just walking, going to the hostel and going to coffee shops. I can offer some directions, a quiet place to sleep, a hot meal and the love of christ.
