CURRENT MISSION

Everyones mission SHOULD be to find themselves at some point, right? As for now, experience my first dose of travelling alone and seeing how big this world really is!

ABOUT ME

I am 20 years old, I have lived in the same 8 mile radius my entire life. I have learned a hell of a lot in that 8 mile radius, except my field of vision only expands Los Angeles and the greater surrounding areas. My parents were never really the travelling type growing up, as i've only been to Utah and Washington (with other families, of course). I suppose this is the time of my life to see some of the world for myself, without the help of anyone else. It begins with Iceland, and ends with the UK. The plan is to remain in the UK, but hell, I'm open to almost anything.

Currently, I work retail at American Apparel Assistant Managing. I make music, play records, and spend time with the family in my free time. The family being my crew of renegades, and my blood. We are all artists, be it Audio or Visual. We have formed a "label" of some sort this past year and are taking it into full effect as of next year. We are WORMTAPE, and we are family.

::PRESENT DAY (11/28 - 01/07)::

Travelling to Iceland & the UK with my friend Adalsteinn. Check his profile out.

PHILOSOPHY

At this age, my philosophies seem to be changing by the minute. Life is really what you make it. Embrace people, embrace the Earth, embrace the ability to relax, and have a good time with everything you do. You can believe in anything, and that's the beauty of life.

It aint what you got, it's what you do with what you have....And, it aint, what you do....It's....how you do it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately, explaining this website to my father would raise a serious eyebrow. So, for now I can't offer a place to stay. Hopefully sometime in the future, but for now I will start with surfing. Feel free to shoot me a message if you're in the area, hopefully I can help or even hang!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It was once hard to imagine there are such amazing people in this world before I gave this website a chance. I can safely say my horizons have been broadened already.

Interests

Records, Music, Philosophy, opinions, House Music, art, fresh air, the city life with a hint of outdoors, friends, family, lessons, books, history, House Music, art history, live music, DJs, and the feeling of holding something with a story and a past.

To me, the ability to purchase records is one of life's simplest treasuries. I use it as a form of relaxation, and a way to feel in touch with myself. Sounds cheesy, but it works for me. Interested in buying a good dance record? Show me to the nearest record store and i'm sure I can give you a solid opinion on a great piece.

::::Films::::

I like to think I can tell you whether or not a movie is good, however that is my own opinion. Never have been a "movie buff", and I'm one of those guys that has never seen that one movie everyone expects you to have seen.

::::Books::::

I could make another long list, however I have just recently discovered my love for reading. I like to find authors who can speak to me at a certain point in my life.

Henry. Miller. Man of the moment.
