About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To eat ice cream in every tropical country in the world.

ABOUT ME

At the moment I am living in Japan. Teaching English on the side as I learn my dream profession:
Chicken Herding.

I hope to travel soon to the farthest reaches of the world and meet many of the chicken-herding greats. I will glean the powerful secrets that have made them masters of our trade and repay them by continuing in the tradition that has set them apart from other mortals on this green/brown/blue earth.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in the general oneness of humanity and that, through various forms and levels of meditations and general relaxation we as individuals and groups can find our way through this world and, in the end, look back, and say "hey.. that was pretty cool."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

1. I raise general awareness of the CS2 project by openly discussing the possibility of getting a "couchsurfing.com" tattoo spread across my back (chest too hairy).
2. I invent new "couchsurfing.com" mixed drinks at parties and bars as a matter of course.
3. I bow down in public to the friend who introduced me to couchsurfing.com proclaiming my undying gratitude.
4. I invite friends to throw down their own comfy couches. (only after I have verified their comfiness first-hand, of course.)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new here. Please be patient and check back in about... tomorrow.

Interests

I like cheese. Meat is good too - unless you're vegetarian. Which is totally cool. I'm interested in vegetables too. And fruits.

  • folklore
  • cheese
  • vegetarian
  • partying
  • drinking
  • trivia
  • traveling

Music, Movies, and Books

Like em. Very much in fact. If had to rank them I guess Music would be first followed closely by Books and then finally Movies.
That's, I suppose, sorta off the cuff and subject to change tho.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Had malaria. Halucinated lots. Lived. So... in hindsight it was pretty cool.

Teach, Learn, Share

Most of Nepal's land is not in the Himalaya region. In fact, only 15% is considered to be Himalayan. Most of Nepal is actually at rather low altitude and this coupled with it's close proximity to the equator means that it's quite warm there.
Please keep this in mind if:
-You plan to visit Nepal.
Or
-You want to wow your friends with obscure trivia.
Or
-We ever meet and I'm trying to sound just a bit too smart and you want to remind me of how little I actually know.
