CURRENT MISSION

...what is this thing called life?...

ABOUT ME

I've lived in Alabama virtually all my life, but I love meeting people from outside of our little community. I like to hitchhike; small things which add some tame and element of danger to our sanitized, de-sensitized, modern existence are very welcome. I'm a German enthusiast, a teutonomaniac actually(but only the good kind. no nazi). I dabble in computers :)

PHILOSOPHY

I strive to one day believe that there is some purpose to this.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I do what I can, if you come to birmingham alabama, then you can crash. If i'm elsewhere, I can help ruslte up grub and etc.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I guess i started 'couchsurfing' before I knew about the website, just meeting people and crashing at their place. But I started hanging out with the couchsurfing krew in birmingham and they're cool people.
