CURRENT MISSION

I travel the world and the seven seas / Everybody's looking for something.

ABOUT ME

I'm a laid-back, self-professed nerd who nevertheless likes to keep a finger on the pulse of pop culture. Currently, I'm a graduate student at the University of Memphis, studying Art History with a concentration in Egyptian Art and Archaeology (so basically I major in Pictionary).

I try to find humor in most situations and relate well to people who do the same. I enjoy drinking hot coffee and cold beer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I just created this profile! Maybe you can help me put something interesting under this heading.

Interests

I like spending time in museums. Foreign languages are my favorite subject of study.

I think video games like The Legend of Zelda, Punch-Out!!, Super Mario Bros. 3 and Sonic the Hedgehog are rad.

I guess you could say that I like to 'collect' new experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have an eclectic taste in music, so it's hard to define it by a few artists. A sampling: Alt-J, Jenny Owen Youngs, Stereolab, Lady Gaga, Andrew Bird, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Big Boi, Parliament-Funkadelic, etc.

I like the alternatively deadly serious and slick-but-goofy quality of Tarantino films.

Shows I watch sometimes: Archer, 30 Rock, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Parks and Recreation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching faraway fireworks from the 95th floor in the John Hancock Building in downtown Chicago -- each one a tiny, irregular asterisk of color set off against the regimented grid of electric lights.

Meeting a local artist in Costa Rica, well into his 70s, who still painted after numerous brain surgeries because he couldn't imagine doing anything else.
