CURRENT MISSION

To eat as much incredibly spicy food with cool people in beautiful places as possible.

ABOUT ME

I'm landing in Santa Cruz this fall (2014) > via Indonesia > via the upper Midwest. Tryin to meet cool people in what seems like a really cool place. Lets do things in/by/on the ocean because we don't have one of those where I come from.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't gone through the official couchsurfing website most of the time, but I have surfed my fair share of couches and other pieces of furniture in the US and Indonesia (in Indonesia you're often surfing the floor, but you learn to enjoy a good hard surface). No better way to learn about a new area than to stay with a good host.

Interests

Photography/Film, cooking spicy food for large groups of people, baking bread, biking, reading and writing, various forms of social agitation, and general outdoor tom-foolery.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recent: Stuck my face near the giant, rotting-flesh reeking, spiked mouth of a Rafflesia arnoldii flower in Sumatra. If you don't know what that is, please take a moment to google it now.

Teach, Learn, Share

I get to work in some pretty cool places, including rainforests and cities of Java, Sumatra, and Borneo.

I could also teach you to bake bread (including sourdough) or how to cook Indonesian style fried rice or curry.
