I'm always looking for fascinating new people to open up my eyes to the grand possibilities of life! I enjoy the simple things in life: sunshine, swimming in warm water, nature, honest & hilarious people, and seeing all that I can see. Also, beer. I AM from Wisconsin after all...

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a gift. It's up to us whether we take it back to the store still in the wrapper or we make the most of it before the warranty expires.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've finally begun to host people after using CS for my own nefarious purposes for so long. Whenever I travel now, I like to make a CS stop or two even if for an evening to meet some new people and learn how they live and love. Someday, I will return the favor with the bitchin'est couch ever!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I would never have survived this long without friendly people and their couches/floors.

Interests

Cutting through the bullshit, maintaining genuine hope for the future of humanity, hilarity, history, I have a soft spot for gigantic old cars, bicycling, swimming, writing, making sweet sweet harmony.

Basically, a dynamic life filled with music, dancing, love & beauty.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy non-fiction, in any form. So historical documentaries are high on my list, and I seem to be on an American history kick as far as books are concerned. Gotta love Vonnegut, Hunter S. Thompson, and Tom Robbins. I can't stop laughing at The Naked Gun (the 1st one.) That movie is unstoppably funny.

As far as music goes, you can't beat Beethoven, and I also appreciate a strong booty-shakin' beat. My musical tastes run the gamut from Gilbert and Sullivan to Hank Williams III. Electronica, bluegrass, choral music, I love it all.

Anything with insight and humor is A-OK with me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I invented a game called Make-Out Bingo. It is immensely popular and may be my single greatest accomplishment of my entire life.
