About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To absorb.

ABOUT ME

I have a habit of slipping into awesome things.
All of my greatest opportunities in life came about in weird ways, coincidences, luck. So I welcome any and all opportunities for fate to introduce new things, people, places, and ideas into my life.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone's a curator and life is like a museum. Make sure you fill yours with masterpieces.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just a couple music festivals around the US. My hosts were always amazing.

Interests

Comic book movies?
Hot culture takes. New movies, music, and TV shows.
The clash of sports and politics.
The rapid acceleration of culture/death of the monoculture.
Politics, if you want.
