CURRENT MISSION

Culture immersion

ABOUT ME

I'm very spontaneous. I crave to be truly happy in life and I think I'm slowly getting to that point. To some being this may seem like an easy task to accomplish, yet it takes a lot of perseverance and integrity to even come close. I love to spoil the people I care about, but have a hard time doing anything for myself. I can be incredibly sarcastic, but do enjoy meaningful conversation.

I can also grow a gnarly beard.

PHILOSOPHY

One of these days...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm completely open to all sex, race, and orientation. I am willing to show you around and introduce you to really neat people, as time allows. I am not, however, just a place to crash because you're coming through and you don't want to pay for hotel. I am a believer of the CS culture and I want to hear all about you!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've never had a bad experience with CS. I feel I've always made new friends with each person I've hosted or stayed with.

Interests

I absolutely have the traveler's bug. I'm drawn to other cultures current and past and traveling is the best way to experience that. I was raised around music and it has always been a major part of my life. I enjoy most music due to the multiple genres my family and friends enjoyed.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy reading Bukowski, McCarthy, Sedaris, Palahniuk, and books on history and small business.
Movies are great and all, but I typically enjoy TV Shows more so. Some favorites include The Wire, Sopranos, Dexter, Game of Thrones, Arrested Development, Mad Men, Scrubs, and South Park.
MY music preferences are very difficult to explain. Genre's don't really give a great understanding nor feel for my tasts. So I'll just list off what's on my phone's playlist at the moment... A.A. Bondy, AFI, Against Me!, Alkaline Trio, American Nightmare, Atmosphere, Bad Religion, Bayside, Blood for Blood, Botch, Boy Sets Fire, Broadway Calls, Champion, Chuck Ragan, City & Colour, Counting the Days, Damion Suomi, Dangers, Dead Hearts, Death Cab for Cutie, Decemberists, Every Time I Die, Fear Like Us, Glassjaw, Have Heart, Heartsounds, Hope Conspiracy, Iron and Wine, Kid Dynamite, Living with Lions, Look Mexico, Margot and the Nuclear So and So's, The Menzingers, Murder by Death, Okkervil River, The One AM Radio, Polar Bear Club, P.O.S., Refused, Rocky Votolato, Saves the Day, Screeching Weasel, Shook Ones, Third Eye Blind, Thrice, Tigers Jaw, Touche Amore, Until your Heart Stops, With Honor, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Young Turks.

Every street is an adventure and every road becomes a trip.
Every turn we take and every decision we don't make,
even the decision we don't make, will bring us into the secrets of their town.
Every corner we turn will lead us, every corner we turn will lead us down the labyrinths,
and every desire that we earn will guide us alive, living, loving & searching.
