CURRENT MISSION

To live, laugh n learn obviously

ABOUT ME

I like jumping off of impossibly tall things, and I like cowarding out at the last minute, only to find out later that I was in the right. I like words that sound the same phonetically but mean different things and are spelt different from eachother. I especially like words that are spelt the same but mean something completely different. I also like the word rapscallion.

PHILOSOPHY

Holy moly personal philosophy! Some people take years to define that, mine will take centuries. Here's to hoping that my philosophy will be an everlasting saga of contemplation. Quite simply, however, treat everyone the way you'd hope to be treated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Ridin the surf because the break is high, a good 'ol 29 footer!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

always always good... :)

Interests

Mostly I like to chit chat, laugh, hang around, and shoot the shit. . . But I also like to go on whirlwind adventures, read books, listen to music, and do art. Often I enjoy good meals and H2O, as well as playing with other peoples pets.
