CURRENT MISSION

I'm trying to figure out my life. And until that happens, show people my city and maybe travel to see other ones.

ABOUT ME

Hey, my name is Will. I like traveling, but haven't had the time or money to do that much of it. I enjoy meeting new people and introducing them to my city.

I grew up in St. Louis, and I live here now. And I love it. I hope to be able to travel around the country, and possibly Europe if I can find the money!

PHILOSOPHY

I try really hard to not be an asshole. And I fail sometimes.

I make t-shirts and talk about St. Louis. But I'd like to be a teacher, because I'm good at that. I might become a teacher. Or I might just get by and play bar trivia until I figure out my life.

The fallback has always been winning Jeopardy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm looking to meet new people, travel to new places and host some interesting people in St. Louis.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I host friends whenever they are in town. And I've slept on couches across the country. But it's never been organized through this site. I'd like to keep it up.

Interests

I love learning new people and places. Also, I love sports (especially football & hockey), books, films, TV, trivia, going out.

In a more abstract sense I'm interested in education, general nerdery, and politics among other things.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books:
Childhood classics (Redwall, Chronicles of Narnia, etc.)
Anything by Nabokov
Political Theory books by non-assholes
All The King's Men

Movies:
Hook
Josie and the Pussycats
Star Wars
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
And other awesome films.

Music:
he first album I ever bought was Monica's The Boy Is Mine.
My music taste has diversified from there. I've gone through really random stages, but my favorite music has always been live music. My favorite album is a live album of a band called The Counterclockwise (a band out of Huntsville, AL). I like mostly Indie, some hip-hop, R&B, country, bluegrass, rock. Good versions of almost any genre.

Shows:
BBC shows (Luther, Dr. Who, Torchwood, Utopia, etc.)
Community
Probably like 10 other shows. I've probably watched more tv than I deserve in this lifetime.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can make a mean omelet. I also can help you take a standardized test (because that's a marketable skill) or survive in the wilderness (also extremely marketable).
