About Me

I can host now, but i need to ask my roomates first so everyone is okay with it :)

CURRENT MISSION

learn german, have crazy fun as much of the time as possible.

ABOUT ME

i like walking around, climbing things, playing instruments, going to festivals, riding bicycles, respecting my elders, thinking impure thoughts, blasphemy, eating cheese.

PHILOSOPHY

living anecdotally: decisions are made based on which course of action will produce the best anecdote.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i cant host right now unfortunately. But i'm moving soon, so hopefully i can open this up soon. When I'm in a new city I usually try to couchsurf and stop in to any weekly gathering that might be happening. I try to connect with all the people that are on CS travelling in the area, via hangouts or events, and form a little crew to hang out and explore with.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

At my old house, we hosted many surfers, loved having the new faces around.
I've surfed in many countries, and hosted in my various homes over time in Canada and Berlin.
Right now i'm trying to get more into organizing events, but its not something that i'm great at.

Interests

abandonned buildings, playing ukulele, home made pizza.
I play a lot of chess. online. and write now i'm programming a side project which is an abstract strategy board game, most similar to Go.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a few months in rural Kenya, teaching farmers to process their own tea, so they don't depend on the big tea factories.

Teach, Learn, Share

i can teach a bit about music, and music theory, about programming and web development, how to dance poorly, about having bad morals:-).

Things I'd like to learn: to speak spanish, to dj.
