I can be a ball of energy, unable to sit still for more than a couple minutes, or I can sit and think for hours at a time. I constantly feel the need to explore, even if there's no physical terrain involved.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm your classic poor student at the moment but I don't let that stop me from traveling! Got my bike and my feet and now this website, which will hopefully lead to cheaper travels and new friends :)

Interests

I love being outdoors whether it be a hike or snowboarding or just walking down to the beach and sitting in the sand. I'm also a fan of random adventures, I love striking up conversations with just about anyone and seeing where it takes me. I'm also passionate about music; I compose a lot and play the piano and ukulele (and recently I've added a bike to my repertory; makes a great percussion instrument). Let's see....I'm really interested in writing, mainly though for screen, radio and fiction / non-fiction prose. I also love working on film sets as the script supervisor.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love a variety of music, at the moment though I'm really feeling Nujabes. For movies I would say the Nightmare before Christmas, I love me some good animation. I find though that I'm not a huge fan of movies, I prefer TV and books. I absolutely adore anything done by Kurt Vonnegut (including his hand drawn picture of an asshole in Breakfast of Champions), and Gary Larson. Sharon Kay Penman is another favorite author, incredibly detailed historical fiction novels. The childrens book My Father's Dragon will always remain a favorite, as will Dragon Lance.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Fit a saddle onto a llama and tried to ride it. Failed miserably. Tried to take footage of a group of rhinos from a tree and fell out of it when I realized the tree was covered in red biting ants.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A terrible pun. A cider. A ridiculous story where I probably end up falling off of something.
