CURRENT MISSION

Prove to everyone that cheese can save the world... but music could do it faster.

ABOUT ME

I am German and English, with a native American twist. Got a few more nationalities sprinkled in for added flavor.

As far as religion goes, I'm a reticent to attach myself to a group that doesn't completely encompass my belief system. Gives me the hebe-gebees. I've studied quite a bit - more than most, less than some. Don't mind chatting about it... if ya really wanna know.

I wish someone would have warned me about my college majors; they are the two things in life you are not suppose to talk about when you first meet someone: Politics & Religion.

I like to plug into the local vibe - sushi shack or Italian hole in the wall. I like to eat vegetarian or vegan when I can... about once a month I sink my teeth into a thick steak.

As far as going out... Birthday gatherings are the best, supporting one of the ol' friends in a band or play usually covers most social needs. House parties and local gatherings are my favorite.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to live my next life backwards: Start out dead and get that out of the way. Wake up in an old folks home feeling better every day. Then get kicked out for being too healthy. Enjoy retirement and collect my pension. Then when I start work, I'll get a gold watch on my first day. I'll work 40 years until I'm too young to work. Then head off to High School: drink alcohol, party, and get generally promiscuous. After that, at primary school I'll become a kid again. Just play and have no responsibilities. Then become a baby, and then... I'd spend my last 9 months floating around in peacefully luxury, in spa-like conditions - central heating, room service on tap, and then... I'll finish off as an orgasm.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am so new to this... I have only hosted but wouldn't mind crashing on someone's couch. Planing a trip to Europe... Paris, Prague, not sure where else.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had a few take refuge on my sofa. Fits a six foot or two meters person... not too shabby.

Music, Movies, and Books

As far as books go, I love the Potter series. Sedaris is great... enjoy everything from Rumi to Dornford Yates. Grew up with Tolken and C.S. Lewis. Whatever my mom suggests is usually perfect. I'm a bulimic reader. Devouring 10 books in a month and nothing the next.
Music... love it... all kinds.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked passed a herd of about 1500 elk in the Cascade mountain range. It was about a 40 trek, 15 miles in, so I wasn't paying to close attention. By the time noticed them, they were all staring at me. Then one big bull elk called out and they started running. I snuggled up against an large Evergreen [tree] and watched hundreds of them run in front of me and behind, jumping over logs and crashing through the woods. Just was one of those amazing coincidences: crossing the trail at the same time they were. My dad was about a mile back... by the time he go there they were all gone. All that were left were the footprints in the trail and mauled trees pointing toward the herds current location.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a massage instructor; I could teach or give that. I'm a great cook... not sure what else. I'd love to learn how to paint!
