About Me

CURRENT MISSION

A man who is tired of traveling is tired of life.

ABOUT ME

I'm on an epic search for an interesting conversational partner. My hobbies include, but are in no way limited to, collecting meaningless drivel and useless information.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is always amazing but no one is always very happy about it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'll hang out with you while you're in town, meet you for coffee, tell you where something cool is going down, let you sleep on my couch, introduce you to my friends, or meet up with you wherever you might be.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Always had a memorable experience!

Interests

Get rich slow schemes, playing with animals, and drinking lots of coffee.

I love to eat and I love to cook, and am just a general nerd. Movies, music, and books. I'm a bit of a sponge for information and knowledge.

I like to play and create music, do the occasional art project, go hiking, and that sort of thing. I love to read and write, and learn about different cultures. I studied poetry writing under some amazing poets while in college, and anthropology as well. I'm mostly attracted to the weird and unique bits of pop culture.
