CURRENT MISSION

pulling out all the stops and getting involved.

ABOUT ME

i am an agent of badassery. i don't like capital letters. i love good friends. i like figuring out what the "important things" are (please, ask).
i want to learn as many languages as i can and experience as many cultures as possible. i want to see the world and meet its peoples.

get to know me.

PHILOSOPHY

i'm not sure that i could really sum up my personal philosophy into one little box.
i try to be a fair and balanced person, practice love and compassion, and do good things wherever i am.

i want to save all the children (which is to say, teach... them to learn... give them tools to learn. we could talk more about this, but i think we'll require some coffee or wine or both). want to come with me?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

meet. greet. host you if i can. take you for a drink. give you bailey's in a shoe. give lots of love.

my friend and i created the unofficial austin welcoming committee last summer. in order to participate, one must be privvy to late nights, whiskey, water, and bending (read: breaking) city curfews.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

the problem is that i tend to find so many things so thoroughly amazing that its quite difficult to narrow it down.

today i was jogging in the park and i saw a pigeon with a dart right through the middle of its eyes, completely piercing it's skull and coming out the other side. it was walking around in the park, hangin' out. so terribly sad, but what an amazing badass, right?

not even a minute later, i came around a curve in the path and was jogging past a parking lot. it was 5 o'clock on a tuesday (rush hour), and this taxi driver had pulled into the parking lot and was under the shade of an oak tree playing his violin. i also think that he is an amazing badass.

(you see how this could keep going...?)
