Fully vaccinated with Pfizer. Traveling the us interviewing buisness and culinary professionals to create a podcast! I’m fun, kind, open, creative, artistic, and extraverted. A deep persuasive/entrepreneurial bent and a love of intuitive problem solving, networking, and minimalist solutions. Consistency of execution is not really my thing, but improving. Cooking and music production are my most developed crafts. I want to put myself in situations where nuggets of wisdom can appear. I believe in being present where and when you are as much as possible. I want to make others consider more deeply their roles and effects on the world, and inspire others to improve as I am by them every day. Now completely vegan! Anti- pornography proponent.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet interesting people, and i want to learn more about the places i'm traveling. Looking for a new place to move to and a restaurant job. If I’m hitting you up I’m looking in your town, Bucko! I don’t like spending unnecessary and I’m not a big materialist. This is one of the best ways I know to meet new and interesting people!

Interests

Food and Cooking, Sociological Anthropology, acoustics and audio engineering, History, Geopolitics, economics, building businesses, investment, Pilosophy in general, Zen Buddhism, Physical mobility, flexibility, anatomy and physiology. I love looking at humanity from a global perspective. Photography is cool. I’m most interested in doing as much as I can to make the planet a better place to live 100 years from now. But I guess, to affect that kind of change I’ll need to get rich first XD
