About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am restoring the verb "rage" to its early 90s glory. I am expanding its usage to mean just about anything, and I plan to teach people all over the world how to "rage hardcore."

ABOUT ME

I am an American student in Los Angeles/Washington, DC. I'm goofy, easy-going, and looking for novel experiences and new people. I'm for authenticity, enthusiasm and spontaneity, in that order!

PHILOSOPHY

Always remember to RAGE. Sure you could rage at the club, but why not rage on books at the library, on the computer at work, or at the dining room table with your spouse and kids? Whatever you are doing, you should always rage your hardest!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently just crashing. I think it's a great way to meet people, learn from them, and get a more accurate picture of the places they live. When I lived in Bergen, my roommates and I hosted couchsurfers quite frequently.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Growing up my parents were part of pre-internet couchsurfing organization called SERVAS and we hosted people all the time. I've also been very fortunate to have generous couchsurfing hosts around the world. I'll be moving to LA in the fall, and would like to start hosting people then.
