About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make life interesting by surrounding myself with good people

ABOUT ME

My to-do list includes trying everything at least once. I love making music, the outdoors, cooperatives and free events. Attended college and gained more knowledge from the people there than the schooling.

PHILOSOPHY

To enjoy life to its fullest. I estimate that I only have about 780 months left (depending on the winner of the race between medical technology and destruction of our planet's resources) so I can't waste any.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meeting new people, going on walks, exploring, providing large amounts of rice and beans.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted many surfers. I've enjoyed conversations I couldn't have had otherwise, meals prepared in tropical open air kitchens, street festivals you can't move through, mutual first mosh-pit experiences, concrete apes, and improvisational jam sessions. I've surfed a few times during vacation in Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Peru. Meeting new people is half the fun of traveling.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies made in 1994. Movies that have lots of romance but fall under different genres (Zombieland, Groundhog Day, Indiana Jones, Hudsucker Proxy). According to Netflix: campy independent films with understated cerebral overtones.
