About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live "Off the Grid" for as long as possible

ABOUT ME

What to say. Well to start, after living in Santa Cruz for 4 years I may have metamorphosed into a socialite. Is that bad?

On another note, I love to play music with people (who doesn't), unplanned adventures are the best and I thrive on challenging and scaring myself silly.

I'm a recent college graduate who finished a degree in Cultural Anthropology and Electronic Music Composition. Weird combination I know. I make my small but comfortable living as a DJ here in Santa Cruz, kinda the best job ever. Love to read, write, ride bikes, climb and make music. Oh and movie nights with friends are my weakness.

And as for my travel experiences, I am currently on a Journey around Europe, Africa and Asia for as long as money will let me. Hope to see you along the way.

PHILOSOPHY

My Four Simple Rules to follow Each Day:

1) Learn Something New About the World
2) Create Something New for the World
3) Play Music with the World
4) And Be Nice to the World

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I am home my couch is always open. While traveling I try to spread the word of this amazing concept while utilizing it myself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted people from as far apart places as Johannesburg to Berlin.

Interests

Bicycles, Bars, Big Rocks and Books.

The bare necessities of life's wonderful pleasures: reading, writing, creating and learning new things everyday and music of course. But in all actuality this is a hard question for me to answer because I'm sort of ADD about the things that interest me, its hard to pick just one thing at a time. But I'm trying to narrow them down....really.

  • writing
  • books

Music, Movies, and Books

Oh I get my fix. Sometimes to much. But to be more specific "MILK WAS A BAD CHOICE!"

I love the classics but I can't help but dabble in the hip and happening.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well I have moved 38 times in 22 years and am still on the run. Top That?

Teach, Learn, Share

Guitar, DJ, Rock Climbing and how to be a well respected nerd...and anything about Star Trek. (maybe i should have left that last one out)
