CURRENT MISSION

my mission is to get to know the people, places, art, architecture, and cultures of the world!

ABOUT ME

a lover of the arts! music, movies, art, architecture, food, i love everything about what it means to be human.

PHILOSOPHY

As the italian's say, "la dolce far niente" which means "the sweet doing nothing" it is a great philosphy that can extend to the arts, liesure, and personal happiness.

another italian word is "sprezzatura" meaning "artfull artlessness" this is what i aspire my architecture, painting, and stone carving to be.

"If your not busy living, then your busy dying" - bob dylan

work's only purpose is to finance fun! I am a live and let live person who doesn't belive in forcing his beliefs on others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a lot of fun showing a couchsurfer around the small college town i used to live in. we went on a hike, did a wine tasting, went to a basketball game, and then went and hit the bars hard till early in the morning. it was fun talking about our traveling experiences, and i love showing people the little secret slice of heavan i live in.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

new orleans during the new year's celebrations. New yorks central park on a fall sunday afternoon. The beautiful scuba diving in cozumel mexico. drinking wine in a vineyard in italy. cheering on germany's soccer team in the world cup in a small german college town. The kiel boat festival in germany. smoking in amsterdam. drinking hot mint tea in marrakech. nearly being robbed in morroco. riding in a taxi in tangier. coming within inches from being hit by a train in a tunnel in milan. after eating the world greatest lasagna, taking a nap in the sunshine in a park in montechino, italy. Drinking cheap beer at 10am and walking around prague!

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

Live in a small italian town somewhere's in tuscany. you will never want to leave. and if you do, it will be your own personal happy place. if your looking for a great two week get away in the craziest party atmosphere in a hidden locale. go spend a week or two at the "rising cock hostel" in lagos, portugal.
