I'm a self-employed software developer taking a professional sabbatical to travel around the US, visit friends, and work on my own projects. I Love working with technology but really I just want to spend all my time outdoors.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Right now I'm without a permanent address and on the road with plans to camp my way to California. I think. Or somewhere. I'd love to find a cabin in the woods somewhere.

In the meantime winter camping can be cold. So cold! There's nothing like daybreak and the morning sun when you've slept in the teens and twenties outside. Couch surfing helps me stay warm on my way to the next campsite.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love classical music, acoustic, electronic, indie pop, funk and trip hop. If it has keyboards and synths or a groove I'm probably into it. My favorite movie is the Fifth Element but I like all kinds. Some of my favorite books are The Book of Laughter and Forgetting and 100 Years of Solitude.
