CURRENT MISSION

To hop around the world until my legs fall off, following music and soccer, with sporadic pit stops in the motherland

ABOUT ME

im a sarcastic, outgoing, witty, spontaneous, only occasionally capitalizing, cheese and beer loving, responsibility ducking, constant head phone wearing, used t-shirt donning, copyrighted media infringing, favorite book rereading, ah-nold quoting, carpal tunnel onsetting, noun searching for... guy. oof, that was weak.

PHILOSOPHY

these things happen

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

well i cant really say since i just signed up for the thing, but i certainly like the concept and we'll see how i participate in the time to come

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

well i never called it couch surfing before, but ive defintely been known to indulge. not to mention my parent did the whole au pair thing to nanny my sister and i when we were younger, so in a sense i was raised by couch surfers...

Intereses

im interested in anything thats interesting, but to narrow that down:
music
soccer (by the way, i move that we rename american football to 'tackleball.' how often do those meatheads use their feet anyway?)
canoeing and kayaking
preschooling
history
sci-fi
traveling

Algo increíble que he hecho

My recent favorite was teaching the Czech soccer fans the 'America! Fuck Yeah!' song from Team America on a fire hazard violating, oxygen deprived tram to Gelsenkirchen's stadium during World Cup 06. They thrased us, 3-0, by the way.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can teach you to play the Tetris theme song on your cheeks...
