About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Study Architecture, meet great people, expand my spirit, mind, and body.

ABOUT ME

I play the drums and love how it makes me and other people feel even though I have a hard time making sense of why humans enjoy music.

I am going to create sustainable architecture of the senses, while working with and capturing nature ultimately making the world a better place.

PHILOSOPHY

Be sustainable. Love everything. Treat everything as if it is your family. Everything is connected.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am brand new to CouchSurfing. I joined because I drove from Mid-coast Maine to Tucson, Arizona to become a resident of Arizona before going back to Architecture school.

My trajectory was Rockport, ME to Exeter, NH to Manchester, NH, to Albany, NY to Pittsburgh, PA to Columbus, OH to Cincinnati, OH to Indianapolis, IN to St. Louis, MO to Little Rock, AK to Dallas/Fort Worth, TX to El Paso, TX to Tucson, AZ.

I didn't have to pay for a single stay throughout my trip and I want to give that option to other travelers.

Interests

  • architecture
  • music
  • drums

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked the local snowbowl in my town of 10,000 in Mid-coast Maine with a bunch of friends to sleep in a lean to and connect with nature. I ended up not sleeping that night and I stood facing the nearest mountain adjacent to the ocean waiting for the sun to expose itself. Just as the first beam of light pierced my eyes defined clouds rolled in from the ocean just under my feet. The clouds filled the space between the mountain hiding the sun to where I was standing. The quality of light was almost too much to handle. I wanted more but I could barely grasp what was in front of my eyes.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am constantly thinking about architecture and love talking about it. I can share my perspective of music as a drummer. I also listen very well.
