About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live, love and learn. I am working towards creating a positive impact upon all those around, and being a generally warm and open person.

ABOUT ME

I consider myself a freethinker, an explorer and a wanderer. I am curious about most everything. I am from Oregon, and i like rain.

And i'm a little bit tall and hairy.

PHILOSOPHY

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”
-Jack Kerouac

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
