CURRENT MISSION

Backpacking southeast asia before grad school.

ABOUT ME

It's always pretty weird to talk about yourself and try to stay objective and what not. I mean, not many tasks in life have you giving a summary of yourself, so when it does come up, like in that clutch interview, it sucks when you freeze up a little.

And as insignificant in the overall picture of my life as this CS profile may be, I'm freezing up a little. : )

I guess I'll start by saying I grew up in Orange County, California but I'm pretty much the opposite of the stereotypes people are familiar with from there.

I went to UCSB and graduated with a philosophy and music degree-- I absolutely love music. It's so cool how your mood can literally transform within the environment you're in if you're playing good music. I recently ran a marathon in san diego and I could not have done it without my ipod. Like seriously, I don't think I'd try without it.

That being said, I don't really care for 90 percent of all music out there, but it's that lucky 10 percent that I search for every day, my own music or others.

Good songs I guess are kind of like your friends. Only a few are seriously your favorite although there are a lot of good people in the world. (BFFFFFF's)

But I digress-- I've basically reached a point in my life where I need to go explore the world. I don't want to settle down before I've lived a little bit. I love hearing other's opinions about life mantras and what not.

PHILOSOPHY

I just want to die with stories. I want to be the grandpa who had lived an interesting life.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just want to experience life, either it be through coffee, exploring, eating, whatever. I'm very open to anyone genuine.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One of my really close friends recommended I make a CS profile while traveling so let's hope this turns out for the better!

I make music in my spare time.

Don't worry, it's really bad.

Here's my other account (the first one was just a few samples so I could join some bands back in my hometown)

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Ran a marathon-- checked it off my bucket list. It was pretty cool, it had live bands line the course. It's called the san diego rock n rolla marathon.

Other than that, I'd love to play more house shows in garage bands and hopefully try and get a record deal of some type.

Insegna, impara, condividi

I'd love to teach english-- I plan on doing some english camps in thailand pretty soon.
