Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Discover the world through the different lives and stories of it's inhabitants and getting lost on adventures.
ABOUT ME
Have my Bachelor's degrees in Philosophy and English, from UC Santa Barbara.
My home is a forest town in eastern Sacramento, CA known as Fair Oaks.
Lived in Breckenridge, Colorado for 2 years, working as a bartender.
I feel most at home in the mountains, with mountain people, doing mountain things. I also love to write.
I currently live in Hamilton Heights, Harlem, Manhattan, New York City, New York - studying for my master's degree in Magazine Journalism from Columbia University.
Love to meet just about anyone for drinks, hanging out, talking, or doing just about anything.
PHILOSOPHY
"Whatever you are, be a good one"-Abraham Lincoln
"Its not that I sing too much, its that you don't sing enough."
It's my belief that history is a wheel. "Inconsistency is my very essence" -says the wheel- "Rise up on my spokes if you like, but don't complain when you are cast back down into the depths. Good times pass away, but then so do the bad. Mutability is our tragedy, but it is also our hope. The worst of times, like the best, are always passing away."
--Boethius
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Hosted a friend of a friend from Australia in August, 2009. Also tend to make friends with many foreign exchange students and end up showing them around and helping them out with my car.
Just Couchsurfed through Europe for the month of September, 09
Have since hosted a few people in my new home of Breckenridge, CO.
Cannot currently host, but down to kick it!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Couchsurfing through Europe was one of the best experiences of my life. Everyone I met was incredible, and I got to do things I never would have done otherwise. Look forward to meeting people in my town now.
