Oh ya know, I'm a leaf on a wind and all that. Firefly reference. 4th wall obligatory Rick and Morty non-reference reversal switcharoo because internet.

So, I'm a traveler. I didn't mean to be, but nothing else made sense and I kind of fell into it 10 years ago. Did the whole wwoofing solo camping track thing till I burned out. Now I'm just doing light trips here and there while I figure out whether to study history or start a company or fix up my bike and give the Darien Gap a try cause you know, why not.

We only get the one go around and all that.

Just moved to chapu(oct '18), finished my GREs and am mostly looking to hang out. Will probably be traveling to san diego for uni next near while keeping a spot here, so looking to make both short and long term friends.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I'm here to host/meet other travelers and such. If I'm hosting, I mostly have one rule - leave the spot as good or better than you found it. If we're just chilling, you may do with me as you will.

Музыка, кино и книги

Music wise it's pretty much everything. Lot of bluegrass and some electro swing lately. Some of that deep theta binaural beats stuff is pretty cool too. But I'll pick some stuff I've been vibing on - Imagine Dragons, Vinnie Paz, Flogging Molly.

I watch stuff like that Dirk Gently's show, the Orville, Sunny, reruns of Archer/Futurama/Rick and the Morties in Japanase, Ha-Ii/all the funny political shit and some esport stuff.

Slacking on reading. Been on a history youtube binge. Hagakure is my fav. Just finished A Farewell to Arms. Re-reading Way of the Superior Man and some poetry shit by Charlotte Mew (spoiler alert, she kills herself in the end). I'm also perpetually trying to get through the Spanish version of the 100 Years of Solitude, though after hearing that he was kind of a dick from one of the locals, the motivation has shifted back to Dostoyevski.

In short, I listen/watch/read whatever reddit tells me is good.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

I mean, aside from not kicking the bucket after being born, to which I am still not sure how much contribution I'm allowed to claim, pretty much you know the usual. Moved countries, got a job when I was 12, mostly raised my sisters who aren't too keen on me and my travel shenanigans, went to school, finished school, did more jobs, retail, hospitality, teaching, accounting, administration, farming, fast food, movie theatre was fun, did the whole spend a year clubbing in smokey underground Boston bars, date a bunch of girls who don't seem to talk to me much thing, did the move to Canada to play Pokerstars (poker) after black friday but got kicked outta Canada for a day over some technicality and instead of trying next morning, spent a week at a Buffalo music festival and rode off south; oh and I guess I also did the whole stable job, future, car/house, fiance thing, but that didn't take either, so packed a bag few years back, ended up bouncing from place to place and pretty much just doing various projects wherever I go. Currently pursuing an MA in mesoamerican history, considering heavily getting into BJJ and about to take another trip.

I guess packing the bag doesn't sound that amazing though.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

Yeah, you know, Russian, English, computer related help, and whatever really (I'm a 100ish/hr tutor on fairly complex stuff for what it's worth, so chances are I can help with any academic thing and would be happy if you could help me with anything non academic like my Bachata really needs work). I guess it depends on what we're doing. I'm into that whole pass it forward thing and I still have a lot of passing to do.

Always looking for some BJJ rolling partners wherever I go (I'm just a lowly white belt).

Чем я могу поделиться с хостами

Pretty cool stories (or leaving you alone if that's your thing). I can either be independent or we can chill. It's all good by me. Oh right, sharing - well, I travel light, but hold up, I just saw this in Zarathustra, I give no alms. I am not poor enough for that.

Does that mean like, quantitative rich people are qualitative poor (or evil as this is a Bible parody or whatever). In other words, if he were poor/evil, he'd have something to give, so he's humblebragging. Otherwise, maybe it's just a nice line that let's us know Zarathustra is both poor and yet not poor enough to give us stuff. And as I'm trying to make sense of what I'm typing, I'm realizing not taking a Nietzsche course was a good choice. 10 years younger version me saying this nonsense in class with 30 others... yeah that's money well spent.

So you get the point. You basically get more of this. Only I've cut down on the party days and am more into rolling now (and I'm not just talking Jiu-Jitsu, hey now).
