CURRENT MISSION

Create moments of incongruity in every day life.

ABOUT ME

A mostly silly man who likes to create and experience novelty. I like meeting people in unexpected ways and this place is an excellent way to do so.

PHILOSOPHY

I like to fill my life with knowledge, unique experiences and ideally help foster the same in others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Still trying to figure it out. Right now I can mostly only host because I am not really traveling very much. But next time I'm able to freely travel I plan to give that a try to.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I've just hosted. Which has been fun. Looking forward to trying the other side of things.

Interests

Making/creating things, being passionate about things, unexpected encounters, generally filling my life with newness.
Besides all that I like traveling, hiking, kayaking, going to live music, trying new beverages, cooking, making music (poorly), and on and on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was once trapped beneath a horse inches from a cliff in a jungle in Guatemala. It was terrifying and amazing. I got back on the horse and rode my way out of the jungle.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I'm not a half bad cook. At the very least I'm willing to try most things. Also I am electronics engineer so I could always open up that rabbit hole. Generally, I've read abou lots of things so there are probably other interesting things I could share with you but it take some prompting for me to remember that I know it..
