Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To live life to the fullest...on couches everywhere
ABOUT ME
I have worked the grind of the restaurant industry since the age of fifteen. I have recently become unemployed and I'm looking to spend some time exploring the country and finding my true calling in life. I'm an open-minded individual with a big heart and would love to meet new people and hear their life stories.
PHILOSOPHY
I live my life to experience new people, places and things. I spent many years completely immersed in cooking and the service industry, which was a great experience, but I am ready to experience the next thing. I believe joining this community will be a great way to achieve this!

Movies: Motorcycle Diaries, Amorres Perros, Big Daddy, Goodfellas, Little Miss Sunshine, Fight Club, Earth Girls are Easy, Flight of the Navigator, I Love You Man.
I enjoy all types of music. I'm not particular to any one genre--a good song is a good song. Period.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I backpacked Kaiser Peak in the Sierra Nevadas, CA. It was an incredible experience. The beauty of the mountains and the accomplishment of reaching the summit was amazing. I would love to have more experiences like this in the future.
Teach, Learn, Share
