Overview
About Me
I don't currently go to school, though I do a lot of work with local theater, primarily on the writing and production side, though performing is fun too sometimes. I also play guitar, bass, and violin, though I prefer to focus on the first two. I'm a big fan of surrealist/avant-garde art and interstitial literature (especially with a sci-fi twist to them). I really love the work of Ludwig Wittgenstein and I also enjoy birds a lot.
Now I'm just gonna list more things I enjoy.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I really like exploring, but I usually lack the financial capability. I haven't really been that far, so I have a pretty strong itch to go out and just be in unfamiliar places. I'm hoping to find someone who can give me good suggestions for places I would find of interest, but also to just make a friend, since ultimately, for me, that's the whole point of exploring.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
This past February I was able to get some things I wrote put up on a stage for the first time, which I also helped produce and write with a person who I consider to be my art soulmate.
What I Can Share with Hosts
If you play music, I'm always down to jam! I can help out with chores as well and I'm a good listener too.
