CURRENT MISSION

To catapult myself from the comfort and beauty of Idaho to the unknown of Los Angeles. Bonus if I can find a restaurant that serves Finger Steaks in the Greater LA area.

ABOUT ME

- Enthusiastic with a hint of sarcastic
- Raised in the outdoors of Idaho
- Film buff
- Turn 22 on August 31st (Jay Z is throwing me a party in Grand Park)
- May be too smiley for LA..

PHILOSOPHY

Focus on the blue skies.

Fuck smelling roses, tell someone you are close to that you love them today.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Film.. this deserves a conversation in person. Growing up in Idaho I found myself ordering indie and foreign films through Netflix before an iPad or smart TV existed. Believe film is the ultimate medium of sound and imagery that lends itself to unlimited potential.

Music.. I force myself to be open to all music as I believe it is the best way to refine your taste and preference. The last two summers I found myself volunteering and working at different music festivals to expose myself to new music and new people around the PNW.

Books.. Non-fiction hound. Thought of myself as a journalist in high school and fell in love with the works of Michael Lewis and John Krakauer. Now I feed my non-fiction addiction with heavy servings of This American Life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Served for two weeks in a village in Peru.. hiked Machu Picchu and celebrated the New Year by drinking lots of Rum.

Followed an old ski bum to an untracked slope of Schweitzer Mountain and ended up chasing the sunset narrowly escaping a very cold night in Sandpoint, Idaho.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am first to admit that I am 21 year old, naive sack of water that is still learning what the hell I am doing on this planet. Would love to share my thoughts on purposefully living.

Pretty good with a camera and can provide technical support on your Apple products.
