CURRENT MISSION

I want to see the world and meet everyone.

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty laid-back person. I'll let you crash on my couch and I'll make you a mixed CD. I'll let you eat and shower here and as long as you don't destroy things we'll get along okay. I live with my fiance, Ryan, and we have a husky named Jackyl.

When I'm the traveler, I'll have Ryan with me at all times. We're longterm and definitely in it for the long run. We are quiet but friendly and won't eat you out of house and home. Oh, and our dog may or may not be along with us.

I believe lyrics describe me best.

"Some grow up and some grow old... But what about the kid who never learned the rules?" -Rancid

"Any good punk is at least part hippie..."

“I've met some people along the way,
Some of them split some of them stay,
Some of them walk some walk on by,
I've got a few friends I'll love till I die
From all of these people I try to learn,
Some of them shine some of them burn,
Some of them rise some of them fall,
For good or bad I've known them all”
-Bouncing Souls

“I’d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints.”
-Billy Joel

“Some grow up and some grow old, but what about the kid who never learned the rules?”
-Rancid

“I have the will to survive. I cheat if I can’t win. If someone locks me out, I kick my way back in. An’ if I get aggression, I give it to them 2 times back.”
-The Clash

“I'm not a coward, I've just never been tested.
I'd like to think that if I was I would pass.”
-Mighty Mighty Bosstones

“I got a song stuck in my head walking down street #9 i sing it out loud with my friends and were all having a good time.”
-Bouncing Souls

“I don’t care if we live in a garbage can.”
-The Aquabats

“I hate people in the scene, keepin’ it clean, fixin’ their hair ‘cos I don’t care!”
-The Briefs

“I drink in dirty bars 'cause they serve bigger drinks and I don't own fancy cars
I take the train and man it stinks.”
-Dropkick Murphys

“Just because you’re better than me, doesn’t mean I’m lazy.”
-Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards

"Love is the answer
At least for most of the questions in my heart."
-Jack Johnson

“Stand by your friends, wrong or right
Can't call that justice when its just a stupid excuse to fight
Single out and attack the ones who got no defense
You call that a new way of thinking i call it regression to ignorance”
-Operation Ivy

“I’m thinking it’s a sign that the freckles in our eyes are mirror images and when we kiss they’re perfectly aligned. And I have to speculate that God himself did make us into corresponding shapes like puzzle pieces from the clay.”
-Iron and Wine

PHILOSOPHY

In the end...it's all a question of heart.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm up for letting you sleep on my couch. But I'd like to get to know you first. It would be completely awesome if you'd let me sleep on your couch... but you should know that I'll have one other person with me at all times.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've let bands crash at my house before when they were out of money for hotels or just didn't want to sleep in the van for a night. I like putting people up and getting to know people.
