Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had a couple friends who use this site pretty regular and I have recently started an extended trip. I hope to use this to my benefit, meet other great groups of people, and put them in contact with my network of friends until every one of us could travel the world and always be staying with a friend.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

People are incredibly accommodating. I try to do the dishes.

Interests

Improvised music, "folk" musics, rock and roll musics. Playing the banjo, reading a lot of books, camping, drinking a beer or two, cooking, mycology, and raconteurs.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to The Wipers, Daniel Johnston, The Rolling Stones, Mississippi John Hurt, and Sam Cooke. And cumbia.
I read Thomas Pynchon, Irvine Welsh, Kobo Abe, and Flannery O'Connor.
I watch Human Highway, Goodfellas, Freejack, and Don't Look Back.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Made an orchestra out of three people inside a giant abandoned oil container.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to play music real nice like. Might have a book recommendation or ten.
