About Me

I change on a daily basis, but certain parts of me always stay the same.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hmmm...I'm not really doing much participating right now. Maybe some other time. But don't worry, it's me, not you.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed professionally. I was once rated in the top 10 in the Western Conference.

Interests

Music, books, photography, making things, fixing things, having intelligent conversations that change my perspective on the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I can enjoy almost any genre of movie if it's done well, from artsy indie to cheesy horror to big-budget action. My all-time favorite movie is Harvey. I'm not much for romantic comedies. My musical tastes are equally diverse, but I'm going to exclude Gangsta Rap, bad House, and anything Rihanna or Flo Rida have had their nauseating "talent" involved in. As for books, I've recently been reading lots of epic fantasy (yes, I know it's dorky) but my favorite book is Catch 22.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been to 43 different countries. Also, I once did something really cool, but I don't remember what it was.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy meeting quirky people that do their best, even if sometimes that isn't very good. I enjoy learning from anybody that can teach me anything – I'm always willing to be proven wrong if you can.
