Very active and curious. I enjoy the intricacies of the world and the people in it. Learn and create is what I do. Always thinking about things and love sharing ideas and receiving them. Often I am left debating the quandaries of political history or the implementation of blow fish encryption. I want to meet people and have the opportunity to see a bit of the world through their eyes. No matter the place I visit, I have always found that memories are not of mountain peaks, bustling streets or prominent entertainers. They are always of those I shared a piece of the experience with.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I can travel by foot, train, motorcycle or car. All are simple in the journey but when I end up in NYC or Jackson WY the problem is either too cold at night for my sleeping bag or every park bench is taken. More notably I met two of the most influential people in my life late in the evening on the city running trail where I used to live. They were my first two couchsurfers and the impression they left on me has been unceasing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorites...
Books are always first and anything that is real, well written or provokes great though.

Music I often say everything although I sway toward heavy, still I'll enjoy country or classical and even Russian rap.

I have seen so so many movies yet it is terribly hard to recall most of them
a recent favorite is Ghost in the Shell

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Honestly an amazing thing that I did was learn to be unique. No academic achievements, money gained or vertical feet climbed can combine to compare to the amazing thing of learning to find joy in one self.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ideas, conversation, creativity, adventure... My worldly experiences may not be many but my appetite for conversation and discussion will surely make that unnoticeable.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a different perspective or technical skills or artistic creativity and more. Most certainly I will share the bits of me that are inspiring and exciting. Time shared with anyone is best used to learn and grow while appreciation goes beyond tidiness and respect.

Countries I’ve Visited
