CURRENT MISSION

Drive my motorcycle south from San Francisco until I don't want to anymore. Head into central and south america and take my time doing it. I'd like to meet people, be challenged, relax, have new experiences, and hopefully learn some Spanish along the way!

ABOUT ME

Mainly lived in Connecticut, Boston, and San Francisco. As Americans tend to have to; I saved, left my job and sold my things to be able to do this trip. I love to try new things as well as grab a beer and get some laughs going!

PHILOSOPHY

Life's about doing what makes you happy..which isn't straightforward. Sometimes that requires stress and challenging yourself. In my experience, the majority of the world are fun/caring people

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosted a few people so far, surfed some couches.

Music, Movies, and Books

Off the top of my head...

Books: The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Enders Game, Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Iron Coffins, With The Old Breed, etc... (Mostly Sci-fi and History)

Music: Alt-j, Neutral Milk Hotel, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Cornelius, this list could easily become too long haha.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Somehow became part of a Mexican family on New Years Eve (Need to work on my dancing skills). Learned to ride a motorcycle in Sri Lanka (Imagine a rock in the middle on a stream). Accidentally found myself surrounded by phosphorescent Algae (Why am I glowing?). Misjudged the distance of a mountain road in Vietnam and ended up sleeping on a strangers floor that night (Big thank you to that Vietnamese man... I'm sure that was a confusing knock on the door at 10pm).

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: rock climbing technique, machine design, fireworks construction. I can also teach you how to wiggle your ears. This will take intense dedication from us both :-p

Learn: things that shift my perspective

Share: Gum? But not the last stick.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Fantastically cooked bacon. Sarcasm that doesn't translate well across language barriers...followed by me apologizing and explaining the joke.
