CURRENT MISSION

to downsize--to fit everything I own into a backpack

ABOUT ME

I love people, but I usually seem shy at first because I have a quiet voice and I like to listen. My friends usually describe me as smart, funny, kind, and respectful--all of the good things. Because they're my friends. I love to travel, mostly because of the people I've met, and I pack light.
I just finished school a few months ago. I am going through a long cycle of first learning how to relax, presumably followed by a phase of learning how to get back to work.

PHILOSOPHY

love, the creative act

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will hopefully be surfing for the first time very soon.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have not had much couchsurfing experience. I've only heard good things, so I'm excited to use this to meet new people.

Interests

I love listening to and playing music, and I love to read and write. Interpretation is a big part of my life. I also like to do silly things like watch Adventure Time and drink beer.
Lately I've been spending most of my time reading, talking and laughing with my friends, and doing a bit of traveling.

Music, Movies, and Books

John Frusciante, David Foster Wallace, David Mack, Charles Bukowski, James Joyce, Dave Chapelle---all people that I worship in some form or another

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1) I saw CocoRosie perform in Paris.
2) One night up in the foothills of the Ozarks (I think) outside of Fayetteville, Arkansas I saw more stars than I've ever seen on any other night.

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone has something to teach. I am happy to shut up, listen, and learn it.
I also really like to learn DIY tricks from people who do everything themselves.
