Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Not to be boring or bored.
ABOUT ME
I enjoy the great outdoors by downhill skiing, hiking, fishing and paddling- or whatever else comes to mind at the time. I play guitar and bass, but am not particularly good at either (I'm working on that).
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I just got here, so I guess I'll be figuring that out. So far, I'll be sleeping on your couches and rewarding you with kind reviews, unless I hate your couch or you draw on my face when I'm sleeping. If I had a couch I'd let you sleep on it probably.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I slept on my parents' couches for a solid stretch after college.
Interests
Discovering new music, trying to make my own, and staring at bonfires. I also enjoy water, both drinking it and being in it. Boats are fun too.

Music, Movies, and Books
Favorite movies: Miller's Crossing; Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels
Music: Bluegrass, folk, acoustic, rock, jazz (as long as it's not 'smooth'), and some jam band stuff.
Books: Darma Bums, On the Road, C.S. Lewis's stuff, Blue Like Jazz, La familia de Pascual Duarte (though I can barely remember what it's about), The Ball & The Cross, Lord of the Rings... I guess.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Bungee jumping... I can't think of anything else right now, so I guess bungee jumping wins by default.
Teach, Learn, Share
Don't expect to be able to get transportation in Latin America on a Christian holiday. Lesson well learned.
