CURRENT MISSION

Ride it out.

ABOUT ME

Jack of all trades, master of none. I'm pretty decent when it comes to cooking, photography, bike fixing, bike riding, playing music, singing, gardening, writing, and so on.

Oh, and I'm good-natured.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what you feel.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't surfed through CS before, but I've spent my share of nights crashing on floors in Chicago, Daytona Beach, Nashville, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Charleston, Atlanta, San Francisco, San Diego, L.A.

The best times always come out of uncertain circumstances. There's nothing like finding yourself in a new friend's kitchen cooking breakfast for a bunch of former strangers at 9 a.m. after a long night of partying.

音乐、电影和书籍

If you want to see and hear the pinnacle of music in the last 100 years, watch and listen to The Last Waltz by The Band.

"Actual Air" by David Berman is kind of like my Bible. I read it almost every day. All water is classic water.

Movies? They're fine.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

One time I helped build a house for someone in San Quintin, Mexico.

教，学，和分享

Want to really enjoy life? Learn to scrape. When you can scrape, you can live to the max on a minimal income.

Let me explain. Scraping isn't like scraping by. Scraping is seeing the value in things that have been thrown away, and it's being content with whatever material possessions you have. It's about remembering that human nature is to always want more, recognizing that fact, and laughing at how simple our brains can be. Scraping is a survivalist trait, and one that has kept me from ever being disappointed that I don't have an iPhone or a flat-screen TV or a brand new bike. Why would I want those things when I already have a bike, a pile of books, and a record player?
