CURRENT MISSION

Finding ways to get paid to travel.

ABOUT ME

I want to see it all. Unfortunately, I've barely been out of the country, but I definitely have the itch to do some extensive international traveling. Originally from West by God Virginia, I've spent a lot of time in the Carolinas throughout my life. At the moment, I'm getting settled in Wilmington after being in AK since February. I have a full plate of creative computer work to tackle, and I wanted to be at the beach when I got started on it... So here I am!

PHILOSOPHY

It's not so much the destination, but the journey.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies - I like a bunch of stuff.. Documentaries, Tarantino, smart comedy, dumb comedy, over the top horror, even the occasional pixar flick.
Music - Black Keys, Das Racist, DOOM, Fiest, The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band, Radiohead, Stones Throw, Vampire Weekend, The Walkmen, but new stuff is always my favorite
Books - Freedom, The Little Prince, Das Boot, The Delivery Man

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I bought a one way ticket to Kodiak, AK, showed up solo with no leads or contacts, and got a job on a 104ft. commercial fishing vessel only a few hours after my plane landed. Fortunately, I've been able to do and see a lot of amazing stuff up there once I got my foot in the door.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a good knowledge of most of the creative programs in Adobe's lineup, but I'm always learning still. Same with photography. I also know a lot of knots.

I'd love to learn from/work with a professional photographer. Learning Origami would be fun, and I want to try yoga.
