CURRENT MISSION

To explore, to connect, to reignite, to re-assemble, to eat

ABOUT ME

When I was a child I would always tell my mother that I wanted to be a "Jack of all trades" (antiquated term) When I grew up, mainly because it had my name in it. Ironically enough this seems to be the theme in my adulthood. I have a hard time pegging down what identifies me, a hard time deciding on a singular identity. In a country increasingly becoming saturated in the noise and light of apathy, I insist that things do matter.

PHILOSOPHY

Exceptionally difficult to put into words. I guess, know who you are and do not compromise, at the same time realize that you live in a world with 6.7 billion others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Connection is the main goal. Connection on the most fundamental levels of human dignity to connection surrounding a shared enjoyment of food.
I am here to participate in groups, to host as much as I am able, and to travel in the 21st century fashion (couch surfing).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted once, surfed never. My good friend and roommate Bryan turned me onto couch surfing, so soon I will have surfing experience to ad to my CS resume.

Interests

Food, drink, travel, literature, history, theatre, art, music, sci-fi, space, science, sustainability, medicine, health, religion, politics... I guess in short, human passion and excellence.
