About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To own the world! Muwhahaha! Joking, of course! I just want to travel on my min-wage salary and meet some cool people.

ABOUT ME

Hello, hello! I am new to this couch-surfing world, but I hear it's really cool! I frolic about my beloved hometown of Omaha and try not to get into too much trouble. When I am not working, I'm usually in a play, writing, learning guitar, or otherwise filling my time. I don't sit still for too long, but I am trying to get into Taoist meditation. We'll see how that goes!

I love meeting and talking to new people, so drop me a line and say hello!

PHILOSOPHY

Hmmmm...I will avoid soapboxes as people tend to want to shove you off of them (understandably). I think we only have one planet and one big ol' group of people. So, we have to take care of it all. PLAY NICE. But don't take people's bullshit. It's of no help to anyone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I recently hosted people for the first time and I am totally hooked! I would also like to surf sometime in the future, but I don't have a ton of funds for it right now.

My girlfriend and I are pretty rockin' hosts, I must say. We will show you around, if you like, and try to keep you fed.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted one groups of people so far. The Rhinestone gorillas. No, seriously, they are a burlesque troupe. It was really cool! Check 'em out! http://rhinestonegorilla.tumblr.com/

Interests

Languages (I am pretty good with Spanish and Sign Language, but would love to learn Arabic and Chinese), theater, food (total foodie), finding cheap ways to have fun, seeing movies, writing, listening to music, riding my bike, etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Iron Jawed Angels, Y Tu Mama Tambien, Volver, Watchmen, Boondock Saints, Savages,El laberinto y el fauno. Anything with Rosario Dawson or Kate Winslet is fine by me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I biked my way across the state of Nebraska and learned that it is far more beautiful (and hilly) then I could have imagined.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmmm...I will think about this. I don't want to just blather on. :)
