CURRENT MISSION

to create and experience a life of adventure and lasting friendships

ABOUT ME

I like to keep things as uncomplicated, smooth, and as enjoyable as possible. The simpler the better. Im a wanderer, and an explorer. Im awfully hard to anger, though you can see me get upset about meaningless rules, taxes, or fees.
Im alot like my Dad. I like to do things my way even even if its not the easiest way. I like to know the inner workings of things, not to say that I always figure them out. I always have a new idea,Im always lost in thought but never come to any significant conclusions, I cant stay put in one place for too long without going nuts. Im always looking for something new to do and new people to see. I cant stand routine, so I try my hardest not to tie myself down with work or school.
I brew beer for fun, and participate in Burning Man.
I enjoy all things outdoors, providing through my own handywork, amazing things, people, and events, seeing and experiencing all I can just for the sake of knowing.

PHILOSOPHY

an angel at burning man once gave me profound words of advice, "have fun."

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf, I host, I attend meetings, you know; participatory stuff.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first couchsurfed in Europe when I went over there through a study abroad program but ditched school for the 3 month Eurail pass. I've done a few western U.S. tours, hosted travelers in Illinois, and even more in Salt Lake and Bend. I am always on the lookout for the next couchsurfing adventure.

兴趣

brewing beer, burning man, fishing, camping, canoeing the north country, growing my beard and mustache out, collecting flannel shirts, eating local and organic, buying USA made, headwear, making things, documenting my travels, sunny days, parks, autumn weather, cornfields, get togethers, and doing anything i havent done before.
I thoroughly enjoy having a coffee, being made to laugh, the outdoors, a tasty brew, finding myself in situations that only couchsurfing could get me in to, settling down with a burning incense and a good read.
