CURRENT MISSION

'Cause all I want to do is bicycle. And learn.

ABOUT ME

I seem to be alternately obsessed with bikes, music, trumpets, Henry Rollins, dinosaurs, Red Wood forests (because I haven't been there yet!). West Hollywood, good people, great ties, thrift shops, frisbees, warm weather and a various number of other things.

I'm not crazy about just talking about myself, so if you want to know more, just ask.

PHILOSOPHY

Do as much as you can with the time that you have!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Haven't hosted or been hosted, yet, but I can't wait!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met some couchsurfers who were really great people, and have had friends with great experiences. I hope to add mine to the tally.

Interests

Trumpets, bass guitars, punk and ska bands, classical and not so classical music. My fixed gear bike. My mountain bike. Not just seeing the world but noticing it. Always being better (and harder, faster, stronger). I like to dance, but I wouldn't suggest anyone actually watch me in action.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in DC the day of the Obama Inauguration (but sadly, not during). Once, I was the keeper of a tall bike.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ask me to show you how to tune up your bike yourself. If people knew how to do the most basic maintenance (i.e. fix a flat tire and not take it to someone else), I think the U.S. would be a little greener.
