About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding the collective soul

ABOUT ME

I am a whimsical but thoughtful, serious but zany kid looking for more than a good time. I am energized by insight, originality, and respect, and look to give the world my own parts of those things.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life for energy. I want to feel alive, important, and see that same life in everything and everyone I meet. I believe in forgetting fear, remembering logic, embracing emotion, and never turning down an adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope to not pass through as a foreign lump on the couch. I hope to explore not as a tourist, but as a citizen or a relative, completely absorbed in the experience of culture. I am more than willing to help out around the house, cook, pay for groceries, etc. And if you want to hang out and show me around, all the better! I hope that through my eyes you can rediscover your own home in new ways.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

There's no better way to travel. I've only met caring, thoughtful and intelligent people, whether hosts or fellow travelers, who have made every stay incredibly fulfilling. I've kept in touch with a lot of people I've met on the road and have even met up with them when they visit the states.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a lot of indie and electronic music, which is essentially my lifeblood. I'm a big fan of 80's B-movies (Ghoulies, Toxic Avenger, etc.).
