About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore the world

ABOUT ME

Well lets see, I'm a big talker, and a huge host. I enjoy great conversation about in depth psychology and mythology. I am a bit of a party fanatic that has been known to get carried away in the moment. I have been known to go to band concerts of bands I don't even know just because I love the atmosphere. I am a huge cigar fan, and smoke hookah almost daily. The rest you're going to need to just ask me.

PHILOSOPHY

Wow, here's a thought. You only live this one time, and in this one time you only have so many options to meet so many people and visit so many places and experience so many things. I pose a race to reach the most, I may have a slow start at the moment, but this momentum is growing quickly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I run a college commune as it is. I have 5 real roommates and about 8 people at any given moment living in my house. I have more couches than I can count (7) in my house that are almost also open. As a constant traveler, always looking for the story, the notion of building a community that strengthens or bonds as World Travels is humbling. This is beyond a cheap place to stay, this is about becoming guides and escorts to fellow explores.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

No technical experience using CouchSurfer yet, thought the idea has been part of my travels every time so far. I have had some hitch hiking experience in the states, but all before I heard of CouchSurfer.

Interests

Music, Movie references (from Sci-fi to drama to comedy I know/love them all), Video Production, Graphic Design, Computers, Mythology, and Dancing. I love Futurama, and 30 Rock. I love building things with my hands (note my Bender costume in my images). I enjoy contact juggling (David Bowey in the Labyrinth) and glow stick.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a huge movie buff. I would say that my knowledge of movies is on par of IMDB minus the part about knowing actors names... But other than that, o ya.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I would have a hard time stating one best story, I would say that my favorite stories are the ones in each I ended up somewhere and due to conversation did something amazing.

Ask me about:
Las Vegas
Gliding School
Flogging Molly
The mighty raft
Cigars and Politician
Mud fights and liquor

Teach, Learn, Share

I would consider myself a jack of all trades, perhaps master of none. I would say that my knowledge of cigars and computers is my strongest point. I have worked in video production, banking, graphic design, and sales. I have taken 4 years of Latin though its fading. I would enjoy learning more languages when possible.
