CURRENT MISSION

I want to learn whatever I can, from whoever I can. My mission is to constantly be expanding and growing.

ABOUT ME

All about me? Man, that's too much to fit in this tiny box they've have provided for me. I come from a place where it takes no more than an hour to step into the vast wilderness of the Rocky Mountains. I greatly enjoy the natural world, it soothes and humbles me, but I've come to prefer the urban setting. There is something I find endlessly interesting about observing the construction of the human condition in all of its absurd displays and functions and this, I feel, is seen best in the heart of a city. I enjoy music very much. It plays a very important role in my life, providing interesting themes, moods and structures for my thoughts to follow. I love most of the shapes and forms music comes in, but I am quite selective as to what I will actually dedicate myself to and to what I will actually call a love. I myself play music but it is not much more than a hobby, an amateur act if you will. I've lived in France for almost a year now and I hope to one day become an expatriate there.

PHILOSOPHY

All I really want is to LIVE! It's as simple as that really. I want to seize each moment I can, see all that can be observed and I want to dig all of those other zany consciousness floating around out there. I want to know what it’s like on the other side of the world and see what it is that they see on that side. I'm not a religious fellow, so I value each moment and each instant as much as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm looking for a place to stay, interesting people to talk with and interesting things to do while abroad. At home I plan on hosting as many people as I can and sharing all I know about Denver and Boulder.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Minimal. I have plenty of friends who have done this, all of them have loved it and they have given me fantastic reviews. This website comes highly recommended to me but as of the moment I have yet to surf. The only surfing I have done so far is surfing the net to find this sight.
