CURRENT MISSION

To be bold, and love people.

ABOUT ME

My name is Gabriel Carlo Much, and my last name is shortened from a longer Italian name that I can't spell. I'm 21, and go to school in Seattle where I study literature, poetry, and music.

I'm pretty level-headed and even-kilter, and usually very comfortable with my surroundings. I almost never feel awkward, whether in silence or conversation, and am also content with both. Sometimes I can be a little too bold, but usually when I'm seeing new sights I'm a bit more reserved - for processing purposes.

That being said, I love learning new things, meeting new people, and hearing stories. I like to listen. I almost always travel with a guitar. I like coffee and tea. Also, I'm ALWAYS up for a hike, no matter how long or difficult it is.

I'm also a Christian, and like a good Sunday morning service.

PHILOSOPHY

People deserve each other's love and respect just because. I am always striving to learn how to break free from my personal agenda, which is often selfish, uncompromising, and in the end, destructive. It often gets the better of me. However, despite this predisposition, I think I was created to love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm currently a college student in Seattle, living on campus with a floor of about fifty people. So, I unfortunately cannot host. (I'm stoked to host once I have the proper commodities). However, I feel I can surf, and be pleasant company and a new perspective for anyone looking to meet a new person.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far! Excited though!

Interests

Music, Literary Theory, Gender Studies

I love talking to people about their passions and goals in life and opinions and backgrounds. People fascinate me. I want to hear about other people's stories because they help me understand the world better.

I'm also always up for jamming with some instruments or cooking a good meal. I'm also a video gamer and avid reader. Read me a good poem that you love, and I will be forever in your debt.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to strum a guitar really well.
I can inspire your passion for poetry and language.
I can show you Seattle.

I would love to learn how to make a mean curry, how to captivate an audience, and how to tie cool knots.
