CURRENT MISSION

to seek and engage in poetry at all times

ABOUT ME

I try to treat people as i would like to be treated. I do my best to respect everyone i meet. I would say i'm a good conversationalist but not the best at small talk. I aspire to write and change the world.

PHILOSOPHY

To seek out truth whether hidden, subjective or otherwise. Each person we come in contact with in life is a vast treasure trove of Love and Truth and i consider it a great honor to meet and learn from every person i come across

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started couch surfing during my trip to Europe three years ago. I have been unable to host due to various circumstances for sometime and now I am back on the road until august, touring the east coast.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I traveled for three months through Europe, Couchsurfing in Ireland, The UK, Belgium, Germany, Turkey, Greece and Italy. I was hosted By so many amazing, generous and hospitable people, many of which i consider dear friends to this day. I am getting ready to begin hosting upon my return home, following the examples of all these wonderful people who opened their homes to my friend and I during our adventures.

Interests

I am currently involved in organizing spoken word poetry events in my city. Poetry has become my dearest passion ever since my return from Europe 18 months ago.

I enjoy playing guitar and dabbling in many other instruments and forms of music. I recently acquired an accordion! I enjoy good conversation, philosophy, religion, anything that will teach me more about people and history.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love movies that make you question reality or our own way of thinking. Movies that keep you guessing untill the last moment.

Books: The Cosmos, Lamb-The Gospel According to biff, Good Omens, currently reading The Famished Road by Ben Okri

I love music anything that moves the sole i like music from all genres it would take up far too much space to fill in all my favorite musicians and bands

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most of those moments have happened during personal conversation with friends but beside that I would have to say the time when The Blue Man Group played in my home city because well.. They're awesome :-)

Teach, Learn, Share

In all things i do and explore i am a student. I'm young so really not an expert in anything but i love hearing and sharing about each person's unique philosophy.i have many somewhat "out there" thoughts and theories about the world and every bit of knowledge or insight is appreciated. So yeah teach me about the stars or the earth or history or the heart, the mind and uh.. Botany? all of it! Haha
