CURRENT MISSION

I am trying to explore new cultures, lifestyles, and environments; to absorb as much from them as I can and grow as a human being and an individual.

ABOUT ME

I am a laid back, sometimes shy, American who is looking for new experiences and new ideas. I love literature and film with a particular interest in the weird, surreal, and absurd. I publish a magazine called Lunchmeat that focuses on obscure and esoteric horror / exploitation films (myspace.com/lunchmeatzine).

PHILOSOPHY

Aleister Crowley put it best when he said "do what thou wilt"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am very new to couchsurfing (and traveling abroad in general). I was introduced to the website through friends and have been to local meetings and met many great people through the network already!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have a great experience in my limited time with couchsurging so far.

Interests

science fiction, fantasy and horror in film and literature; comic books; music (particularly punk rock and heavy metal); social and economic politics and philosophy; decadence and aestheticism; mysticism and magical thought.
