About Me

Not verified atm... But when I can I will guys! SCOUTS HONOR! :)

Right now I live in Portland with two roommates. Work in a kitchen at a retirement/assistant living home. Besides that I'm usually at band practice, biking to friends shows or some cool band I've been waiting to see but forgot they play that day till like an hour before ha doing some writing projects with friends and just hanging out and eating too much Thai and obsessively listening to harmontown

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Going to NYC with my sweet friend Cherag. We are gonna be there August 14th-17th and any help would be amazing and extremely appreciated. I'm new to this and don't know how this all really works or if it even works well, but worth a shot I guess!

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

... And you will know us by the trail of dead. These arms are snakes. Refused. Young widows. The chariot. Circa survive. Battles. Don cab. Fka twigs. American football. Liars. Daughters. Fear before the march of flames. Finch. The mars volta. Elliott smith. The dirty projectors. Etc...

Been into Rezno Piano architecture books of late.

And I've really been in a Kung fu and sci fi horror movie kick. Lately I'm obsessed with Dan Harmon, so I've been just watching community and listening to his harmontown podcast

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got to go I the longest tour I've ever gone on. Last year I went on a month long tour on the west coast to sell Merch for my friends band bearcubbin'!. I got to go to SXSW, treefort and lots of rad venues and meet amazing people who are now good friends all because of our shared interest in music. This weird universal language let me meet people I would probably never hangout with but due to our passion for music, we are able to put our differences aside and hangout in a room and talk about and enjoy rad bands.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you got a guitar I could teach you it or maybe teach you something you don't know! I've been playing for almost ten years. I can teach you what I'm capable of or just serenade you. This is the last band I was In https://thisplaceisntsobad.bandcamp.com
I play some other instruments but I'm definitely comfortable calling myself a guitarist where I feel I mess around with the others or play at them till I come up with something I'm okay with ha

I'd love to learn anything and I could. I'm looking for an experience and I've got a pretty open mind

totally share some rad music and anything possible I can. I have some pretty decent knife and kitchen skills, so maybe you wanna make dinner for someone and wish prep didn't take so long, well I could fix that ha

What I Can Share with Hosts

No allergies, pets or real strong religious beliefs. Just looking to have a rad time in NYC and make it as carefree as possible. My friend Cherag and I are super relaxed and are not trying to step on anyone's toes and would be very respectful and appreciative of a place to crash. Floor or anything, we don't mind! And we could help out with dishes, hanging your clothes (cause I'm horrible at folding ha) or something like that. :)
