CURRENT MISSION

Find inspiration in the seemingly mundane.

ABOUT ME

I like beer and coffee, sometimes at the same time. I like to take care of my body during the day to justify the abuse I can put it through at night. I really do fancy myself a morning person but damn it if I'm not a night person, too, which creates a lot of internal tension. I tend to take the stairs instead of escalators/elevators. I like self-deprecating humor. I like arguing (some may call it debating) for the fostering and challenging of new ideas. I appreciate kindness and compassion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Absolutely the best method to guarantee the best travel experience. Please tell me, "You're a fascist pig," in your request so I know you've at least glanced at my profile.

Interests

Problem-solving, music and its creation, the smell of plants and earth and animal, going out of my comfort zone, traveling whenever possible and (mostly) affordable, woodworking, computers, tiring myself out in some form or fashion, playing music, reading and sharing the thoughts I derive from all of these.
