ABOUT ME

I am shy when I first meet you, but very outgoing once we've talked for a bit. I love painting and drawing and do it all of my free time. I paint with Photoshop as well as in traditional oil paint. I love all good music including instrumental (yann tiersen, Bach), interpol, Deathcab, Beach house, Yeasayer, Phoenix, Justice, A-trak, MSTRKRFT. I am a movie freak also. Traveling is soooo nice and I enjoy meeting likeminded people.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life fully. My idea of that includes playing/listening to music with a wonderful group of people, drinking good beer and having a great time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Haven't had the pleasure of couchsurfing just yet. But I have traveled extensively and know the ins and outs of living in a hostel.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Road is a great but depressing book. A Staggering Work of Heartbreaking Genius is hilarious. And since I am a huge nerd I love the Lord of the Rings, A Scanner Darkly, 1984 and any and all sci-fi and fantasy books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen 14 of Caravaggio's paintings throughout Italy, London, and Ireland. One of my favorite artists.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you visit me I can teach oil painting techniques and paint your portrait, then we can head off to the Art Institute of Chicago and see master works.
