CURRENT MISSION

I'm in a transitional phase. I need to get some new experiences and want to really 'carpe diem' my life. Travel always gets me more in touch with my true destiny

ABOUT ME

I'm 35 years old. I am most of the time obsessing over my next music recording or drawing. I like to read a lot and understand the history of the world and humanity in general. I do sometimes have deep questions about the point of life on this planet. It is all so mysterious and baffling but beautiful

PHILOSOPHY

I am fiercely creative and unconforming. I tend to just naturally do things a little bit differently than other people, except eating and stuff. I mean, I try to be polite and only show people what's in my mouth if they ask me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can host when I'm in town, which isn't actually all that frequently. But for now I'm looking to travel around, see this great country and learn things from new people. Have some fun and revelatory moments that make life as special as it's supposed to be

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did some unofficial couchsurfing in Boulder, Santa Fe, and Berkely SF.,then there was that epic 14th trip to Sweden where , yes, I really benefitted from some super amazing and generous people in Gothenburg, and I will never forget them.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have to admit, I'm a huge Shakespeare fan, but guess what? I don't believe there was a real Shakespeare. YES! I'm one of those weirdos who think that it was all Sir Francis Bacon. Graham Greene is pretty good too, in a completely different way. Lately I've been reading Robert E. Howard, Robert Heinlein, and Thomas Pynchon, Clark Ashton Smith, E.R. Eddison

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

just one? oh man,,, Maybe Glacier National Park, that was flipping amazing. but uh.. I've seen a lot of other things too

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach things about art history or music, like western classical music. I have a pretty good understanding of that flow. Or I could teach the amazingness of Robert Fripp's guitar method. I would like to learn more about textiles and furniture and all sorts of applied arts. woodworking and flying a plane. Can you teach me to fly a little Piper, Cessna, or something?
