CURRENT MISSION

living with my hands before i go back to filling my head

ABOUT ME

i lived in haddonfield, new jersey my whole life until i got sick of it and moved to costa rica for my senior year of high school. i got my diploma there and learned to speak a bit of spanish. i took a year off to work on farms and be a ski bum in steamboat springs before starting school at colorado college. i have a stutter. i've had it my whole life. i still love talking. i have identity issues because i'm a mountain man but i can't grow a beard. i'll probably live on a farm or a mountain or a combination of the two when i really settle down.

PHILOSOPHY

i'm constantly working to be a better person. john riker's book "why it is good to be good" lines up pretty well with my personal philosophy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

i like a lot of movies but haven't seen too many. favorites are shawshank redemption, harold and maude, and the last waltz. i love music so much. lots of rock and roll, lots of older stuff. i read a lot of books. some authors i like are dumas, vonnegut, and italo calvino. i read such a wide range of books it's hard to describe any one genre as my type of reading.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've climbed up the inside of a strangler fig tree till I was sitting in the canopy of the cloud forest in costa rica.
