CURRENT MISSION

Right now, currently, at this moment, my mission is to find a place in Europe that suits me well where I can stay for the next two to three months.

ABOUT ME

I'm a college student taking the five year plan. I'm five feet 10". I'm an artist. I make music with my friends from school. I'd like to become a film director some day.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life because I think the world is an interesting place full of interesting people with amazing ideas. I think it's very important to learn from the people you live around, share, collaborate, and create. I love the communities and friendships that build over a lifetime. I think it is something that is very special.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've never really had a couchsurfing experience before. There were a few times during college where I slept on my friend's couch for a night, but in those cases I could walk back home the following morning.

Interests

I'm interested in film, animation, crochet, yarn, arts, crafts, pianos, unusual musical instruments, languages, rock climbing, sail boats, food, knots, whales, old abandoned factories, tide pools, funghi, magic tricks, calvin and hobbes, spelunking, skiing, woodworking, pulley systems, and making halloween costumes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw a guy juggle three active chainsaws. It was pretty amazing. I've also seen pogo stick with a flamethrower attached to the end. That was also pretty amazing.
