ABOUT ME

I enjoy puzzling tasks. When my mind, (and more recently, body) is not being tested I get bored very easily. I love juggling and the related arts (unicycling, fire spinning, slackline) and just recently have started rock climbing and hiking. After working in IT for a private college I decided I was wasting precious time without attachments and commitments stuck in an office working on computers and servers. So now, I live in a van and soon hope to travel. I like meeting active people, and appreciating sights and opportunities that are all around. I'm fairly good natured. I drink on occasion, but I shy away from drugs and slutty situations. For the most part, I'm an optimist looking to get out, experience things, and meet fun people along the way.

PHILOSOPHY

I live simply. I spend time doing the things I have only long enough to enable me to do the things I want to. Be kind to people, don't cause drama, leave a positive footprint, and when all else fails, learn to lay low and be quiet.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment, I will only be surfing. Seeing as I live in a van I don't have much to offer. It also means I dont have a huge need for an actual place to stay, as much as a need to socialize and get to know people where I'll be staying.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed with many people that I've met at juggling festivals, usually after getting to know everyone during afterparties.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Not to long ago, I got off work on Friday and hop onto Reddit.com After reading about the last manned NASA Night Launch I called up a friend in Lawrence and got in the car 30 minutes later. We drove all day and all night from Kansas to Florida to watch the launch. After a tire problem that postponed the trip a few hours, we made it to the scrubbed launch, and headed straight back. I had work on Tue, so we braved a snowstorm and made it back to Kansas on just about 8 hours of sleep for the whole weekend. It was amazing, and makes me pause to reminisce anytime the subject comes up. I'm so happy I took the chance and dived into life that weekend :D

教，学，和分享

I'm always up for juggling :D I worked the Ren Fest in Kansas City a few years teaching people how to contact juggle and have fun with a sphere.
