About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be mindful of the present. To not be nostalgic for the past or anxious for the future. Also..to work like I don't need the money, to love like I've never been hurt, and dance like nobody is watching.

ABOUT ME

After college, I moved to Prague where I now live to teach English, work on films and travel. I am passionate about film, live music, photography, food, travelling, outdoor sports, camping, existentialism, and czech beer.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in fairness, decency, and good manners and will endeavor to retain the spirit of youth.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Basically, I sleep very well on couches. It's a more real experience than staying in a hotel. I'll do that when I grow older.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a great couchsurfing experience in Sweden and Spain. I also hosted several couchsurfers in Prague.

Interests

Filmmaking, traveling, music, dancing in the moonlight, going to the beer garden, concerts, food, swimming, floating down a river, playing basketball, swashbuckling, sailing across the devil's sea, existential discussions
