CURRENT MISSION

The Life Pursuit

ABOUT ME

Hard to say no to an adventure.

I'm a musician and do editorial work for an education website. Moved to Chicago in August 2012 and have never been happier.

PHILOSOPHY

"Vi Veri Veriversum Vivus Vici" - "By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe"
People are scared of things only when they don't understand it. Truth leads to understanding and when you fully understand something, you aren't scared of it and instead can relate. That's what I take from the quote at least.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love getting out and seeing new things and the intimacy that CS provides to a city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had a great assortment of people who have made my experiences fantastic. I road tripped from Columbus, Ohio, up to Chicago to grab my friend Zach, and we drove route 66 to Los Angeles. Had a great host there and in my subsequent adventures to Seattle and Portland.

Interests

Playing music is my favorite thing in the world. Very close, if not tied though, is making experiences with new people. I like to try different things and am constantly pushing myself to not consistently fall into one category.
