CURRENT MISSION

To be.

ABOUT ME

I am guy. I enjoy life, art, music, books, poetry, movies, video games, talking, walking, riding, looking, traveling, playing, verbing, etc.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is one of uncertainty. I embrace how little I know, and live to broaden my perspective.

"That simple phrase, I do not know, was my own pillar of fire. An ultimate, a metaphysical, I-do-not-know. For me, too, it revealed everything. For me too it brought a new humility akin to fierceness. For me too a profound mystery. For me too a sense of the vanity of so many things our age considers important."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf. Couches. If I ever get my own place, I would be delighted to host. I like expanding the usefulness of the web, and couchsurfing.com is a great way to do so.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All of my couch surfing experiences have been impromptu. I liked it when my friend Jared put a bucket next to the couch. I didn't need it, but it was a nice gesture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Hawaii once. My sister and I climbed a steep hill. When we looked back, out over the trees, it felt like I could fall into the ocean. I want to go back.
