I'm a guy who loves to have adventures and conversation along the way. Books, music, and art are all interests in mine and I love appreciating them all. The mountains are my home although I can make myself feel at home almost anywhere with anyone for a time. I've lived all over this country at various times and have come to appreciate things about all of them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love hospitality and meeting new people. I'm also a huge fan of conserving resources and using what God has given us most efficiently.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - I love well-made music according to its purpose. You will hear me listening to Indie, Alternative, Acapella, Rap, and Country the most often at this time but I have also gone through Classical and Soul/Funk phases recently as well.

Movies - Just about anything will capture my attention. I especially enjoy dystopian movies as they seemingly reveal a lot about the human condition. Sports movies and some romantic-comedies are my guilty pleasure.

Books - Right now I'm in a theological kick with reading stuff by Tim Keller and Martin Lloyd Jones but I also love almost any fictional work. Historical and Russian literature have also been recent phases of mine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm still alive. That's a feat in itself I think. I've gone through a lot and the fact that I"m living right now with the hope that I have is pretty amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning about anything. I have an almost insatiable curiosity about a lot of things and even if I don't like it (say, Tea), I still enjoy taking tours and figuring out it's made. Factory tours and documentaries are two of my favorite things. As a result of that learning, I then love to teach/share about those things. One of my missions in life is to share all that I have learned.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll be glad to provide myself! I'm an easy-going guy who doesn't need a whole lot more than a place on the floor to rest my head. I'm a clean guy but I can live in almost anything. I would be glad to help cook (I've been a professional cook), run errands, or help clean around the house!
