About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the US, write, find out what i want to do in life

ABOUT ME

goofy; playful; loves science fiction, loves books, music, art; surfer (but in a central coast sense), very relaxed - i get along with most anyone; very much a child of california and the beach; i've been told that i'm a 'quotable person' - whatever that menas; i'm shy at first, but once i'm comfortable with someone am very talkative / outgoing.
i don't know man, talking about yourself is hard.

PHILOSOPHY

"There are a lot of good poets who are shitty people; try to be a good person."
-A professor I had once quoting a poet (i don't remember who)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm currently moving out of my place in SD, so I don't have a couch to let others stay, but am looking forward to meeting some interesting people on my way up the west coast! I've found that my best travels have been a result of getting together with locals or random fellow travelers and saying "let's do this" and then we do. and it's awesome.

every place and every person is worth talking to / seeing and understanding, and that's why i'm excited to start couch surfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i've not been yet - but i've had friends tell me it's been a great experience for them, and they highly recommended the whole experience.

Interests

surfing, writing, books, music, comics, bike riding, good beer, improv comedy (if you know about any of your local improv toups - i'd be way down to go check them out!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I puked in the river Seine. Yep, that was a fun day.

Teach, Learn, Share

hmm, i know how to juggle (3 and 4 balls). also know a little about music (harmonica, drums, very little guitar), books, and writing. plus i am a great swimmer!
all these skills i am willing to share.
if there was one skill i wanted to learn it would be singing, drawing, or riding a motorcycle (oops, that's three)
