CURRENT MISSION

Become self-sustaining, retain as much useful information as I can, and ultimately survive.

ABOUT ME

I'm not the loudest, craziest partier around, but I like my fair share of drinking with strangers and getting to know people. I want to travel America (and outer-America) on two wheels some day. Hopefully I'll get to know you rad folks along the way. :)

PHILOSOPHY

"I don't plan on pessimistically whining about how hard it is; I'll learn it and I'll do it, simple as that."

"Taste every fruit of every tree in the garden at least once. It is an insult to creation not to experience it fully. Temperance is wickedness."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet you, of course! Unfortunately, I don't have the means to host at the moment, but I will in the future.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode my bicycle to Chicago for a Flaming Lips concert in 2011. It was one of the best experiences of my life - we camped out a couple nights along the way and met an amazing group of people at an outdoor shooting range that allowed us to shower, shared their food with us, and taught us how to shoot antique German rifles. I hope to try my hand at another trip very soon.

Teach, Learn, Share
