CURRENT MISSION

To live like a tourist at home and like a local everywhere else.

ABOUT ME

"..as stealthy as a puma and as lofty as a condor with eyes like the smoldering embers of a bonfire." - as described by H.H.D.L.
I'm outgoing and I like going out - my cleverness/absurdity work way better in person.
I like going to rock shows, bars, breweries, parks, bike rides and cafes - pretty standard stuff.

PHILOSOPHY

Most of my regrets are because I didn't try something, I rarely regret making an effort. So I'm always down for a new adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm trying to host while I've got an empty bedroom so I can tap into that Couch-karma on the road if need be.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Still new.

Interests

I play guitar, hike and bike around, edit sheet music (my job), travel and take photos. Read a bunch too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw a halo of clouds ringing a Himalayan peak that was alive with lightning... Hmmm, looked down steep steps at Machu Picchu from Wayna Picchu... Sat alone in a partial excavated site overlooking the Alhambra I broke into in Granada... Saw ballot boxes stolen and Tibetan Monks beaten bloody in Nepal... Helped install the world's largest rooftop farm six stories above Northern Blvd. in Queens, NYC... Swam in 4 of the 5 Great Lakes... Cliff jumped in Bulgaria and Guatemala... Hitchhiked through Cuba... Bumrushed at a reggae festival in the Middle of Jamaica... Stranded in the Aegean Sea... Buzludzha (google it)... I've eaten the best (yak) yogurt I've ever tasted at the highest saltwater lake in the world... I've swam in two Central American calderas... Rock-climbed and played guitar at venues from Panama to Mexico...
