About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Calm before the storm

ABOUT ME

My spirit is driven by music, above all else. Performing music, writing music, recording music, listening to music, dancing to music, feeling music, finding music, eating music, living music... that´s my preferred form of communication, words cause too much confusion, eh? I enjoy being idealistic. I try not to take too many things seriously, I have the wrong idea more often than I have the right one, whatever, blah blah blah.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I sleep on couches, I offer a place for people to sleep when I got it, I tell people about the best way to travel

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All have been incredibly positive! I freakin love it! Each time I've done it, it has been the best part of the trip. People never cease to amaze, especially strangers... they're so.. strange.

Interests

I am interested in things that often get overlooked, the subtle details of life. Like corn worms, bling and finding ways to try and acquire more blingy bling, hidden "mario" mushrooms, constructing a heptagon using only compass and ruler, street art, plants and animals(including people), stretching, the relationship between 5 and 6 and the green flash at the end of a sunset. Whoooo Doggy!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Coen Bros. Kubrick, Wes Anderson, Christopher Guest, Michele Gondry, Spike Jonze, Charlie Kaufman, Wachowski Bros., or one's I create with my friends...
Music? anything that is not safe, risky music is the only kind worth listening to, mostly. Like the type I create with my friends...
Books: Anything by Chuck Palahniuk, Jack London, John Michel, Plato, Paulo Coehelo, Ray Bradbury, Hunter S., Vonnegut, Kahlil Gibran, Tom Robbins... Dune, Ishmael, Utopia, 1984, Gnostic Gospels and other "occult" writings, Field Guides, I don't create books with my friends :( But, I can tell you a story

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen Yosemite from the top of half dome... oh yeah, and I shared that moment with my mom, she rocks! Then stood on a glacier in Denali... with my mom. Then climbed to the top of Huayna Picchu in Peru after hiking the Inca Trail... oh, also with my mom. Have I yet mentioned her raddness? I got some rad adventurous genes. Thanks ma!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am knowledgeable about music and some subjects within psychology, but not really. "All I know is that I don't no nothin'." I would love to learn more about cooking food, growing food, body movin', other people's ideas of what human beings are doing on this planet and what happens when we die, languages, sailing, new instruments from far off lands, and underwater basket weaving.
