Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Looking to expand by joining more groups and making CS my home web-based community (as opposed to Facebook etc).

Since I am a student and limited to travel. I currently participate by hosting surfers - providing local/regional.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have not really surfed within the CS community. Have slept on various surfaces, however - through out life. The notion that there is an organized community dedicated to the lifestyle and promotion of CS makes my heart very happy.

Interests

Including but not limited to.

  • music

Music, Movies, and Books

In due honesty - I shouldn't waste too much energy filling this in.

I say - "try me."

Movies - Favorite move is Angus I enjoy the works of Charlie Kaufman, Genndy Tartakovsky, Richard Linklater and so much more

Books - I am not a avid reader, but I absorb whatever I pick up. Currently read slaughter house 5 by Kurt Vonnegout

Music - anything that is genuine. Mostly into artists who understand the impact and prominance of thier craft. I find this in hip-hop mostly. Collective Efforts, Sweatshop Union, Lyrics Born, Reggie Watts the list goes on and on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being a Youth Pastor I saw some amazing things happen to Kids.

There are fundamental and traditional mechanisms for defining god that I do not want to get wrapped up in. But stepping outside of these I have begun to see the fingerprints of something amazing going on.

Indescribable stuff! Every time, at the tail end of these events I see the Cheshire Cat smiling at me.

I have jumped off some cliffs into water in my day.

I would like to take a vow of silence some day.

Teach, Learn, Share

My trade is bar tending. I feel that it is a way for my to accumulate perspective and share insight. It is a hub for meeting people.

I teach Youth Development.

I am student and eager to learn about everything.

I truly have serious case of Wonder Lust.

Anyplace I can find a pearl, I want to know about it.
