Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Living the good life in Miami before I go back to school.
ABOUT ME
Like most people on this site, I consider myself to be an adventurous person. I think that most things in life are worth a try. I pride myself on being unpredictable, but also well rounded. On the weekends, it's possible that I could be found at a party or club, or sitting at home reading a classic novel. I'm generally a fairly conservative person, and get along very well with most people. I'm fascinated by people that have different backgrounds from mine and enjoy listening instead of doing the talking. I love to exercise and eat healthy and cooking healthy food for myself. New recipes welcomed!
PHILOSOPHY
My philosophy is too long to go into, but could be summarized by a quote. "The question is not who is going to let you, it's who is going to stop you."
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I participate by hosting people and helping out when I can. For those of you interested in crashing on my couch, I'm not here to just provide a free place to stay! When you send me a request explain why you want ME specifically to host you please.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Hosting a couple times, nothing too special....yet.
Interests
I really enjoy trying new types of food! I like doing outdoor activities and having new adventures. I also am very interested in history, business, and good books. Obviously, hiking, camping, shooting and travel are passions of mine as well.

Music, Movies, and Books
I like reading in general and appreciate people who are avid readers. I like books about economics, business and entrepreneurship as well as books known for their literary significance.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
One of the coolest moments I've ever experienced, was when I went swimming in both the Atlantic and Pacific in the same week. Being from a non-coastal state, it's a pretty big adventure for us to visit one ocean, but when I swam in both in the same week, whoa that was cool.
Teach, Learn, Share
Well, if people are interested in what I have to teach I would be able to share a fair amount of my knowledge about banking and finance. I also know a decent amount about exercise and nutrition.
