PHILOSOPHY
Don't just think outside the box. Realize that there's a box to start with, step out side, and then kick it to the curb.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've done my share of surfing, and this past year I've been able to host as well.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Couch Surfed in Western Europe winter '07-'08, throughout CA summer '08, and have been hosting this past year.
Interests
Anything unusual will typical get my attention. I played many sports growing up and continue to enjoy them. Lately I've been getting into outdoor stuff as well. One thing is for sure, when I visit new places I like to get lost. That way I can really explore.

Music, Movies, and Books
There's way too many to list. So here's the basics.
I like a lot of different movies. I'm not to picky when it comes to movies. Action, drama, comedy, and documentaries are the genres I watch most. The Big Lebowski, Apocalypse Now, The Hulk, and Forrest Gump to name a few.
I'm pretty liberal with the music I listen to as well. If it doesn't cause me to throw the stereo at the wall then I don't mind it. Some favorites are: Rise Against, Bad Religion, Bob Dylan and Marley, Creedence, Gogol Bordello, and Rage Against the Machine.
The written word is a definite favorite of mine. Literature, history, environmental sciences, and philosophy is what I generally read.
Teach, Learn, Share
A lot of what I can teach comes by way of random facts. Oh and I want to learn many, many more languages.
