PHILOSOPHY

LEARN//TEACH//RESPECT//PEACE

Yes, i've had my moments - but i would've liked for my life to have been nothing but moments, one after another...

Only when the last tree has died,
the last river has been poisoned
and the last fish has been caught,
will we realize that we can't eat money.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used to, couch hop and host, haven't been able to in a long time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed on a couch in Eugene, 2 nights. We had a great time and it really helped and enhanced my entire trip. Then a night in San Francisco. It's a lot of fun to meet these people and also such a relief, being able to put my feet up for a bit.

Interests

Spending time with Lukas. Practicing guitar, mandolin, banjo, ukulele, tin whistle, bodhran, and harmonica. Reading to educate my mind, mostly non-fiction, history, biography, Anarchism and wilderness type books. I love going to shows. Riding bikes and occasionally skateboards. Dumpster diving, hiking, exploring abandon buildings, hitch-hiking, train-hopping, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Life is amazing if you make it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I probably cant teach much, maybe some of the stuff on my interests list. I am in the process of learning or wanting to learn Greek, Latin, and Italian. Also all types of history and politics.
