CURRENT MISSION

Travel the US in my 1970 VW Bus in search of life, love, happiness, and rocks.

ABOUT ME

I began to travel the world in my second year of college. A friend of mine found some cheap tickets to Paris and I decided to tag along. Why not, right? Since then I've been hooked. I've traveled to many European countries, studied abroad in Iceland, scuba dived in Indonesia, and did a stint in Cameroon for the Peace Corps.

However, the past 4 years have been filled with the dull, boring, daily grind of 9-to-5 office life, and I just can't do it anymore. So I bought and restored a 1970 VW Bus, quit my job, and am embarking on an indefinite road trip around the USA in search of good people, good food, wilderness, true freedom, and the best rock climbing routes in the world.

PHILOSOPHY

You should make plans, that way you at least know the one way in which things will not work out. Sleep in. Work to live, don't live to work. Do something every day that you normally wouldn't. Smile at strangers. Read everything you can. Make time for yourself. Live like it's your very last day. Jump. Barefoot.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

音乐、电影和书籍

I like to read fictional literature, historical and otherwise. I avoid anything political, and keep coming back to Ayn Rand and Tom Robbins.

Musically I can listen to and appreciate anything but death metal, and could listen to Portishead or Wilco on repeat for days on end.
