I'm a recent college grad still riding the loan deferment train; looking to expand my culture as well as see the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Domestic and international networking. I could do the whole touristy bit but I feel like the best experiences are the ones that allow at least some sort of intimacy; something of which I hear couchsurfing is good at. Show me something that I won't get to see if I take the road most traveled. I want a first impression that I can take back with me.

Interests

Music and art in general - guitars and instruments, writing, making people's lives better.

Music, Movies, and Books

Most music. I just saw Built to Spill at the Varsity Theater and Dan Deacon at the Cedar. Tuesday it's Surfer Blood and in a few weeks it's Unknown Mortal Orchestra. I'm a huge fan of the Beach Boys and grew up on punk rock.

I've been digging through Stephen King's bibliography lately and "It" is hands down the best book I have ever read in my entire life. Cormac McCarthy is great, too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Graduating college was a pretty badass feat, I'd say. I've also recorded four albums; only two of which have seen the light of day. Shitty, right? Hopefully this next one I'm working on gets some love.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A childlike sense of curiosity, and hopefully the gift of song that you can not only identify with, but also immerse yourself into.
