CURRENT MISSION

I walk the Earth for now, to coax my purpose into taking shape

ABOUT ME

I was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I'm the middle of five kids and I love talking to almost any kind of people. I take samples of mannerisms and mentalities and express the reflection of how they speak to me. People say I'm intense but that might just be me adjusting to my environment. I consider myself a useful person to have around, and compelled to be the man to help. I used to worship Irony but lately acting contrary to expectation is just part of who I am. Love to cook, love to drink, love to love conversation.

I like making distinctions and connections.

Relevant information about me for hosts: I am almost timidly mild-mannered and polite as a form of courtesy, but as I gauge how much of my inner self is allowed by how our personalities interact I will relax the shield and be the me.

PHILOSOPHY

Chaos and salt

I love to be of service to strangers but I have no idea what my calling in life is on a higher level. yet.

I will have a very sincere personal connection with someone that does not lose meaning under the strain of life's vicissitudes.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a few couches in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Provided that I am not away, I would love to be able to show a little bit of my culture to someone new.
I also encourage people to break out of the trust shell of social norms and get involved with Couchsurfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted about as much as I've surfed but it's been a while. I've hosted and been hosted by some really great people, some greater than others and some I felt uncomfortable with at first but as I got to know, felt super safe around.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I got to play with some bees without a suit on, managing to pilfer some honey.

Riding around on a bicycle with someone until the sun comes up is a recurring awesome way to solidify a new friendship.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I love talking about scientific/technical concepts in plain language.
I cook and clean
I can make a roux, and so can you! Southern food is my specialty/background but I want to learn how to cook vegetarian.
I'd like to think I'm fairly handy, but learning to be handier is just as good!
I like speaking languages, swapping words
