ABOUT ME

Sometimes I DJ. I'm constantly researching music. I like french pressed coffee and eggs sunny side up in the morning, and I like an old fashioned bourbon on the rocks at night. I usually wear black denim, black leather, and sterling jewelry. I usually play some derivation of electronic and techno, sometimes hip-hop, r&b, and club, but I'm down with pretty much anything. I almost always go out on the weekends, you know, the usual hipster attractions, a few decent clubs, fringe venues, dives, low-lit bars, anywhere with graffiti and stickers covering the bathroom walls. THAT'S ME! JUST BEING PAINFULLY HONEST

PHILOSOPHY

My ethic is a derivative of karma, temperance, and trying to find a balance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I tend to ignore a lot of couchsurfing requests purely due to the huge volume that come through now that I'm in Boston. Unless you have vouching rights or you REALLY think we will hit it off, don't bother, especially if it's during the week. HOWEVER IF YOU THINK WE WOULD BE FRIENDS IF YOU LIVED IN BOSTON I WILL HOST YOU ANYTIME

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've never officially surfed. I'm building up my hosting references for more CS EXP points so that y'all'll know I'm legit.

UPDATE: I surfed for my first time in Silverlake, Los Angeles.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I drove to Marfa, TX and then drove home. I also drove through Big Sur and Avenue of the Giants, both highly recommended.

I bought a house in Boston, started my Graduate Engineering degree at Northeastern, and got my downtown dream job as an energy efficiency engineer.

I also throw some killer 6am free parties in Chinatown but also spun hip-hop at a Downtown club on new years.
