CURRENT MISSION

To find a way out

ABOUT ME

I try to be everything I enjoy in others (see below). Always looking for someone to join me for a beer.

PHILOSOPHY

If you don't know what you're doing, you're doing something stupid. It's unavoidable. Try not to pay attention to it and just jump in anyway.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

First time logging onto CS in a LLLLOOOOONNNNGGG time. Let's see if I can get the ball rolling in the right direction.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far

Interests

I read a lot and love music. I'm usually the guy at the front of small venue with ear plugs in, camera clicking away. I watch indie movies and pretend I understand them. I used to blacksmith and do metal work but I am huge into photography these days. Medicine and helping people are probably in there somewhere. Skied and surfed till I hurt my arm. Now I snowshoe and collect stamps in my passport.
