About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The career track, unfortunately.

ABOUT ME

Became a world traveller by accident after learning German specifically to come to Germany for the last world cup. Got addicted to roaming around the world, like most people, and resolved to do as much travelling as I could. I got into CS while living in Berlin and moved back to the states in 2008. I'd like to get back to the traveling life, but it will be a different approach than before. I don't think I can do the expat lifestyle again.

PHILOSOPHY

Wherever you go, leave it better than you found it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted for the most part and surfed a little. The traveler and expat community is the best thing I've ever encountered and I'd like to foster the ideals we represent through hosting and surfing more as soon as I get the opportunity!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only good, only good.

Interests

Soccer, snowboarding, films of all kinds, punk, rock, classic rock and love going to concerts. And I like to write.

Music, Movies, and Books

I studied film, so that list is a little long, but my favorite bands are Lagwagon, A Wilhelm Scream, Bloc Party and the Mad Caddies. My favorite authors are Jonathan Lethem and this guy named Ben Bova who has written like 300 sci-fi novels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiked on the Autobahn.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, if you get bored, we can make claymation figurines with wire armatures. I'm a stopmotion animator on the side.
