About Me

CURRENT MISSION

make good art, spread the light, and consume less; create more

ABOUT ME

I'm a person. I tell myself i'm a writer, and I like to think that I can sing well enough to front a band at some point. I just graduated with a bachelor's in biology and a minor in psych.
I cuss like a sailor, and order far too much take-out.
I love running, record players, traveling, theatre, secondhand bookstores, thrifting, the beatles, going out dancing, cats, art, murakami, interesting tattoos, long drives, and good food.

I'm pretty chill and easy going. I like to party but I won't bring the party home. I'm clean, and I've never had any issues with any of my previous roommates.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that life probably doesn't have any meaning, and there probably is no bright, shiny afterlife waiting for me. However, I think life is full of beauty, and I try to live my life creating and embracing as much beauty as I can. Create more; consume less is the mantra I'm going by.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm really new to Couchsurfer. I've always wanted to try it out, but I haven't had the opportunity to yet although I have friends who have and swear that it was an amazing experience.
However, I'm going to be moving to India in about a month, and I'm going to have my own place set up, so I'd be stoked to host folks =)
