About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ride my bicycle to places that I have never been

ABOUT ME

I'm from Philadelphia but i'm living in Seattle right now and really enjoying it! I got out here riding my bicycle from the east coast and even though I love this city I'd definitely like to take more bike trips. I spend a lot of time playing music and making art. I like creating things with my hands, I pay my rent doing renovations in my apartment building. I also work at a glass blowing studio near my house and would like to get better at glass blowing. Right now I can only make small cups and bowls but I want to keep working at it.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind to people, keep an open mind, and don't tolerate ignorance

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I traveled using couch surfing on many occasions. On my bicycle trip I was camping and staying on peoples couches, Ive also had a lot of great experiences on tour with bands. I have met some really boss people along the way. I lived in a loft space in Philadelphia and we would frequently host people on account of our numerous couches and it's been nice to experience the other end of it.

Music, Movies, and Books

genres are silly, and i'm firm believer that there is great music in every genre.
lately though I've been listening to alot of Mac Demarco, Walter TV, Homeshake, Sonic Youth, D'angelo, and Pavement.
High Fidelity, Wait Until Dark, Requiem for a Dream, Thirteen, Basketball Diaries, and some good TV showsFreewheelin, Running with Scissors, Dry, any Jack Kerouac.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Me and my roommate were out walking round by the train tracks near my house a in Philadelphia when a freight train rolled by and we made the decision to jump on and ride it for a bit. Its doesn't sound that amazing but the air was so crisp and theres something really fulfilling about being a small part of a big piece of metal rolling at jumping speed.

Also I saw a moose really close when I was young and was amazed.
