About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Capitalism - Grin and bare it

ABOUT ME

A good traveller, not into T.V. or movies really. I graduated early from highschool and took off on my own to Europe for a good while in '06, came back and got a bachelors in PoliSci. I stayed mostly in hostels unfortunately before I heard about couchsurfing. Nowadays I get the itch to travel the US and whenever I can get some days off I try to experience something new.

PHILOSOPHY

We will succeed, we just have to keep awake.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love hosting folks, sharing stories, drinking coffee into the early morning etc.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed with some well to do guys in amsterdam. I know they treated me well, I took a lot of pictures, thought a lot about life...but the memories are a little fuzzy.

Crashed in St. Paul at a loft but mostly was out protesting the RNC.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Greece to Denmark in 16 weeks: Visited the Acropolis & Pompeii, busqued on the Spanish Steps (got robbed in termini), managed not to burn down the Uffizi, took in Piazza San Marco, snowboarded Zermott (thanks mom), toured Paris, met up with some friends in Barcelona, got a tattoo in Madrid, siesta'd in Granada, went broke in basque country, went hungry back in Paris, met the love of my life in London, got down and up in Amsterdam, contemplated death in Berlin, and drank like a Dane in Copenhagen.

Marched in DC, rioted in St. Paul.

I also worked for the Mafia, crashed a moto-scooter and smuggled drugs (all unrelated). Oh oops that said "one thing".

I can teach you a few chords, or some drum beats. You can take my books with you.
