CURRENT MISSION

Get my life in order! Seriously.

ABOUT ME

I'm currently a directionless expat in Europe. I've decided to take up the bohemian lifestyle to complete the image, and my ultimate plan is to come up with a brilliant grant idea to get Phillip Morris or Kodak to give me free money. I'm thinking mime documentary; my new life as a street performer. Would you watch something like that? Perhaps more importantly, if you were phenomenally wealthy, would you give me money to do it?

PHILOSOPHY

I'm just trying to get by. The purpose of life is not to work hard and have miserable time. We'll all be dying in a few years so...ride the couch.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I signed up at the last minute on account of being homeless, but I think it's a brilliant concept. When I have a home, any and all will be welcome. Bear in mind "hotspots" to me is more like "local dive karaoke night."

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Nothing too out of the ordinary way. I've spent a fair amount of time camped on a train station bench, but thats more like squatting.

Interests

Hiking, lakes, oceans, mountains, writing, drawing, drinking, dancing. It's costing me money to be on the internet, so please be satisfied with the general idea. I'm an outdoors person who for some reason has kept to cities for the last few years. Probably on account of the scene? Though I consider myself far too bohemian and avant garde to be attracted to any such thing. I mean it. Documentary, people. The future.

Music, Movies, and Books

This is really getting out of hand. How much information do you need? I'm getting pretty adept at typing on this Belgian keyboard. Quickly; Cormac McCarthy, Charles D'Ambrosio, and Harry Potter, naturally. I'm on a Jane Austen kick right now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing, in my life, generally equates unutterably foolish. Favorite childhood pastimes for some reason tend to include the prefix "suicide." I broke my wrist sledding down an ice slick mountain in the dead of night, with a bazooka sized flashlight I had for some reason received for Christmas that year. Also, narrowly escaped death by stampede when my cousins and I were overcome by the idiot notion to pet the cattle.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always ask before camping on the edge of someone's property. People are a lot nicer than we might generally be inclined to believe, but they want to be actively included in matters that even remotely concern them. You know like how you really aren't that stingy with your toothpaste, but it pisses you off if someone uses it without asking. Always ask before borrowing the toothpaste! And don't assume, just because your sister has way more clothes than you, that she won't notice or care when you make off with half of them.
