CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy the planet and all that it is...

ABOUT ME

I am an easy going, motivated individual that focuses on helping others. I reward myself with lots of creative time and small spurts of sweets. My passion is working towards a video production career; and my part-time job is having fun.

PHILOSOPHY

"To be helpful, all the time, for everyone- within my means".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have done nothing yet; other than fill out squares with personal information. I am sure with time I will find my opportunity in the mix. I am eager to go to the mixer next week and meet other folks that are also passionate about traveling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was in Amsterdam in 1997 and in order to sleep on the couch I had to draw something to do with a penguin on the wall before I left. I drew a penguin swinging towards the viewer and it's head was small, leaning back, and it's feet were large, coming at ya. The guy liked the originality and I liked that I could offer something back for his generosity.

Interests

I am most interested in acts of self expression. I enjoy making music, drawing, gardening, and anything involved with making a difference for others.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy comedies (The Jerk, Good Morning Vietnam) and 80's TV series (The Incredible Hulk), and reality programming like The Daily Show. Super Size Me, For the love of Ray J. I read instructional guides like how to master Photoshop, Motion, and AfterEffects software; Favorite books include, Shogun, Siddhartha and the like. As far as music goes, I like most styles and genres.. I love trip hop, electro house, reggae, and dub step.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had survived 2 years in the U.S. Army as a vegetarian. It all started when we killed a pig to learn how to prepare it. Within a month, I decided that I would boycott the meat industry. The decision to be a vegetarian taught me a lot about myself, about the food we eat, and how other cultures see meat as sacred.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach vegetarian cooking, script writing, video production, gardening, simple yoga positions, and much more. I like to learn everything and enjoy listening to people that are passionate.
