CURRENT MISSION

Simply to enjoy life in different ways and build a nice community on CS for the first time.

ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

Learn, share, enjoy, repeat.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Moving into a new place in July where I'll be able to host a comfy couch. It took a long time to convince myself to make connections on C.S. because I'm really not an social media person. I don't find it genuine trying to express myself as a person through a computer. I prefer meetings of chance, and allowing circumstances to create intrigue. I do feel though people are becoming more comfortable/relient on platforms like this, and my first passion is meeting new people, so I'm happy to give it a try.

Hope ya'll can help me on this adventure of making C.S. as homely as possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just with cool people I've met on the road, or at the bars/cafe's.

Interests

Well I've always been a social person so I've always tried to learn all the skills I could, especially those hobbies that are hands on. Because I've never enjoyed school that much, I've been fortunate to have many great mentors in my life.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am flexible, I'll basically watch and listen to anything if I'm in the right mood. But for CS's I'll do an extensive list. Film: Anything from The Third Man - Idiocracy. Books: Anything from books like The Master and Margarita, 100 Years of Solitude, The Crying of Lot 49, anything Kurt Vonnegut all the way to Shel Silverstein's, Where the Sidewalk Ends. Music(my most flexible interest): From The Pogues to Death(Chuck Schindler's a god of guitar) to Hank Williams to Sister Rosetta Tharpe to Sia to Leonard Cohen and back to The Devil Makes Three.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So hard to choose one. I guess I'm most proud of helping many people laugh when they were sad.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Photography/videography

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have cooked in fine dining for eleven years, I work now in video and photo professionally, I grew up doing construction and welding, I can fix things, clean and build. I'm casual speaking French. For the past ten years I have been writing poetry, short stories, screenplays, and am on my second book. I'm ok on the banjo, and I love conversation that develops in a natural and comfortable manner. I love to share whatever I can.
