CURRENT MISSION

live love and learn! variety is the spice of life folk, and i love making friend and connections here, there and everywhere!

ABOUT ME

Love to watch movies, listen to music and just chat with folks when i'm inside. outside i love to adventure and polk around. i'm a child at heart and love to meet people and learn about other places, cultures, ideas and viewpoints. i place high value on being open-minded and well-rounded.

PHILOSOPHY

I can't help but think i covered this in my ramblings elsewhere. simply i guess it's just be friendly, be open, be curious and be good. of course we all fall short often times but who's counting right?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a busy boy but i'd love to show people around indy, and even host on weekends when i can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None as far as this community goes, i'm rather new, but i've benefitted often in life from friedly hosts and help from passers-through. I've met more random folks just passing through places and being friendly than any other way. i love the dynamic and the things you learn from being friendly and helpful to others.

Interests

comic books (yes i know, 25 and still loving them), music, movies, camping, canoeing, knife making (new hobby!) climbing, being creative-not very good at it though, steampunk/post civilization and the philosophies thereof.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

went to a small midieval village in italy and stayed in a monastary (very cheap!). my alarm clock each morning was the Gregorian chant from the monks. they went to the crypt each morning to pray it.

Teach, Learn, Share

i love to cook and can. it fulfills my desire to be self sufficient. i have a decent small library including fiction, nonfiction, technical stuff, travel and of course, comics. i also have recently taken up knife making, though i do that at a buddy's house though, so if you'd like to do that give me a sizeable heads up so i can order materials and check his schedule too.
