Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted about five CSers so far and every experience is unique and thought-provoking. Surfed myself in Ireland (Dublin, Galway, County Clare), Spain (Barcelona, Gran Canaria) and met a host of cool people in Morocco (Marrakech). Now I'm willing people to come surf with me in Kentucky.

Interests

Trying to figure out songs on the guitar. Borrowing anything from the library. Shooting film. Total strangers. Um.. photography? Lying on my back and listening to music. Driving too fast. Standing on top of my Jeep for a different perspective, or just because that sunset seems better from on top. Colors. The way the world seems to change when you get extremely tired but keep going.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sailed the Irish sea for six days with three Irish and two Egyptian fishermen. Vomited once.
Spoke Spanish.
Made music.
Loved.

Or make hummus. Trading guitar tunes.
