ABOUT ME

Please don't judge me based on my "travels" map, I didn't spend any time on it.

I'm flexible, outgoing, adventurous and I have a sense of humor. Yes I'm American, but No, I'm not ignorant, I don't blindly follow and it's clear to me that no country in the history of human kind has earned the title of greatest country on earth.

It is not possible to define anyone in such a little box. Perhaps one twice this size would do, but I certainly hope not.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This is my first time using Couch Surfing, and I'm very interested to get involved first by traveling in Europe, then by reciprocating by hosting some travelers in LA.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None

Interests

Cycling, being active, having adventures, music.
I like both mountain and road biking, and have both a mountain and a road bike, and I'd love to show you some of the rides that are fun to go on around my area.

I'm also interested in good quotes, so I'll list some of my favorites.

The only consistent feature of all your dissatisfying relationships is you.

Grif: Talk about a waste of resources, I mean we should be out there finding new and intelligent forms of life, you know, fight them
-RVB

Defeat:
For every winner, there are dozens of losers. Odds are you're one of them.

(morganj): 0 is false and 1 is true, correct?
(alec_eso): 1, morganj
(morganj): bastard.

"It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small. "
-Neil Armstrong

"The more confidently you walk around with your eyes closed, the harder your going to smack into something."

Music, Movies, and Books

Snow Crash, The Watchmen, Cryptonomicon, Snow Crash again, and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe (all 6 baby), anything by David Sedaris, Slaughterhouse Five or anything by Vonnegut. Just... books in general, they're good stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been to Haiti twice as a member of the Haiti Outreach prgram, helping Haitians to help themselves. It is an amazing project with amazing people, and I was honored to have a part in it.
