CURRENT MISSION

To explore, roam, entertain, connect, and dive right into everything humanity has to offer.

ABOUT ME

I'm an open book. I try my hardest to make honest connections wherever I go, and people usually appreciate my quick wit and abundant friendliness. It's been my luck to be able to both talk and listen to people that I've just met, something I don't take for granted. Ready and willing to engage in a life that I can call my own. I'm an American of the ol' adventurous mold!

PHILOSOPHY

As once said by the world's most renowned alcoholic: "We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Whether I'm surfing or hosting, I try to be as open-minded and understanding as possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've carved out a map of the American Southwest and quite a lot of mainland Europe since joining Couchsurfing and along the way I've met some amazing people with all sorts of different backgrounds.

Interests

Making horrible noise in bands, painting, volunteering at animal shelters, enjoying the company of those who are happy to have me.

Music, Movies, and Books

Nico, The Replacements, Andrei Tarkovsky, Throwing Muses, Gregg Araki, and Roberto Bolaño are all very important to me.

Mostly I'm interested in any artwork that has a deep, unforgettable importance to someone.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a month in Turkey with a set of friends who became very near and dear to me. It's a wonderful place and the outpouring of kindness I received was nothing short of amazing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great conversation, plenty of stories, and a metric ton of enthusiasm.
