About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy the goodness of Skittles, in as many places as I can :)

ABOUT ME

I'm pretty much just your usual fun loving guy from Central FL. I pride myself on enjoying all the awesome non touristy things around town. I'm big on finding all the good eats and drink in my neck of the woods. Come hang with me--guaranteed good times :D

UPDATE!! So yes, while all the preceding still holds true, I've also come to really enjoy the micro identity my area of town has fostered in the past couple years. So if you're the type that enjoys urban bike riding, whilst in search of the next good bite and beer, and not being shy about smiling at the sun, then we'll get along famously :D.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoying the journey as much as I possibly can :).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a new member to CS, so I've yet to have my first experience. But I totally love the concept. Don't think there's anything better to add to the travel experience, then to interact with people that are currently there. A few friends have done it, and have nothing but good things to say. I'm hoping to add to the majority opinion :).

UPDATE!!! Man, when I reflect at the Me that wrote this originally, I could never have imagined the network of people and the collection of memories that I've had due to CouchSurfing. Between conventional Surfing, Couch Crashes, impromptu one night Couch Surfs, hosting, and spreading the word along the way, I've really been blessed during my wanderings away from home. I'm on here after all this time because I still believe in it--and because there are still more Skittles to be had around the world!

Interests

Live music, reading, grill outs in autumn, good beer, physical activity, shenanigans :), new experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

Oh dear, here goes. Equilibrium, Matrix series, Harry Potter series, any book in the "Dummies" title series lol, Damien Rice, Glen Hansard, Linkin Park, Jason Mraz, Boondock Saints, Before Sunset/Surise, Marianne Keyes, Tom Robbins,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spotted a unicorn in flight, had a boomerang actually come back, enjoyed a polka band rock out to Bon Jovi, and delighted in the spectacle that is the coast of Ireland on a clear autumn day.
