About Me

CURRENT MISSION

made it through my first trip to Europe, now I will try my best to host until I travel again.

ABOUT ME

*****I'm currently between homes/jobs at the moment.
But please message me if you have questions about the area.******

i would call myself a "jack of all trades, master of none".

i enjoy:
cats
billiards & snooker
eating good food
cooking decent food
good drinks
history
writing sad songs on the piano
writing happy songs on the guitar
movies/films
baseball
being cold
golf
bowling
old video games
fishing
watching TV shows even tho i dont own a TV
live music
competition
hanging out with farmers
bee keeping
antique stores
rolling my own cigarettes
the outdoors, even tho i am outside 10 hours a day, everyday.

i have not traveled for an extended stay outside of my 25 mile radius since birth, so traveling is not that exciting to me, i just want to be somewhere different for a bit.

i did not go to college.

i have worked at:
holiday inn express (cleaning rooms, it was awful)
pawn shop (mostly on cleaning up the junk)
bowling alley (maintenance man)
musician (i have made money preforming and selling CDs, but it was very little and all spent on pizza.)
farmer (current job, lots of different small jobs make up vegetable farming. clawing, tilling, seeding, weeding, harvesting, cleaning, packing, mowing, eating!)

future jobs:
cat whisperer
lottery winnter.

PHILOSOPHY

i believe in the chaos theory while doing the complete opposite of chaos and watch as they meet in the middle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i live at the farm i work for, so it is already communal living, people are in and out all the time throughout the farming season. the boss out here is on a different community website that shares a couch to traveling bikers. i dont have the authority to let people stay at this house, im sure all are welcome to stop by and maybe grab a bit to eat if the timing is right.
