About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Adventure. Plain and simple.

ABOUT ME

I travel with my friends, write, read fantasy novels, and fight at a Jiu-jitsu club on the weekends. I work for the United States Air Force, but I believe that a person is defined by more than what they do to pay the rent and fuel their Hello-Kitty addiction.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't take advice from people on the internet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I once found a hedgehog sleeping in my garden. I put some lettuce next to it so it would have a snack when it woke up, but the next morning it was gone and the lettuce was still there. To this day I wonder why it never ate the snack I left it. The moral of this story is that hedgehogs, like human beings, will not eat anything green unless it is covered in ranch dressing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Joining the United States Air Force. Single-handedly the best decision I've ever made. I've never traveled so much in such a short amount of time as I have through the American military. Many people subscribe to the cliche that American soldiers/sailors/airmen/marines are close-minded individuals, brainwashed by the military system, but what many don't realize is that you'll find the most well traveled, cultured, and friendly people you will ever meet in the military.

Teach, Learn, Share

Drink two glasses of water with each meal. It will help you feel more full and awake.
