My name is Matt. I'm a calm, quiet poet who works for Target. 
39-years old. I have solid references & a great history as tenant.

My ideal stay is clean, organized, peaceful. I live simply and 
like a place to sleep, eat, art, and write. 

Hrothgar, my 2-year old Aussie, is loving and non-destructive.
He has his own references. Prefers to be outdoors at all times. 

We prefer poetry and peace these days. Looking for relaxed, 
intelligent souls to share with...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Doing a walkabout.
40 in April.
Accessing what's out there in the world,
anything beyond my current capacity to comprehend...
I plan to report back, an existential surveillance scout.
So far, it's been interesting...

Music, Movies, and Books

Well, depends on the timbre of my mood. World music most of all, including Ravi, Yodelling from the Swiss Alps, Eddie Lockjaw Blues...

A nice, slow sax always balms the beast; Ben Webster, Coleman Hawkins...
Then again, Velvet Underground is tonic and Cohen carries a calm...
Muddy Waters. Damn right.

Smattering of everything, really.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Survived myself, the jungle, the Degoba of the mind, the Hoth winters of St. Louis, marriage, filmmaking...

I survived all my dreams and decided I got everything I asked for and nothing I wanted.

The process of elimination...

Teach, Learn, Share

Collecting life. Travel is an essential tool to test myself, to find new patterns tucked into the folds of my fear...

... all in good fun.

Life is a scavenger hunt for the soul.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Long tales of travel. Explorations into existence... I have a curious nature and knack for the unknown. The final frontier, they say.

Life is to laugh. Earth is God's class in comedy.
