About Me

ABOUT ME


I enjoy meeting new people and hearing stories. I am open to adventure and challenge while cherishing my downtime.

I'm relaxed, easy going and sometimes I think I'm very funny.

I like to listen and learn from anyone with a story to tell, that's what I enjoy most about CS.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy yourself today, enjoy yourself tomorrow.

I've met some incredible people through couchsurfing and learned much about myself.

I can admit I love chick flicks- besides that I enjoy movies such as Forest Gump, Babe, and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Star Wars, Pulp Fiction, and any Wes Anderson movie. I'm also on a Jack Nicholson kick right now.

Books: The Great Gatsby, Catch-22, The Tasting of Paris, The Glass Palace, The Odyssey, Catcher in the Rye ect.

Music: Mainly indie rock, Americana, some Blue Grass indie electro, Motown, Folk, experimental mixed in as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every day has proved to be pretty fulfilling. High lights include canyoning in Switzerland, skating in Auckland, tasting wine in France, crushing grapes in California.

Teach, Learn, Share

Wine, food and cooking, skateboarding, science, language.

I can teach you how to crochet and about wine and how to grow and make it. I always look for people who study or work in sustainability and the environment. It's how we're going to get out of this mess.
