CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Bicycles. Cities. Welding. A theatre major who doesn't like theater.

I like to paint and draw, when I have the mind to.

PHILOSOPHY

Attempts at self-sufficiency and lofty ideas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In 2008 I surfed once with 2 other people through this site in Minneapolis (MN/USA) in the winter; which is about 3 steps from the artic tundra. Wonderful to have a free, warm place to sleep. Obviously I do the occasional hosting of friends, and being hosted. Looking to surf more abroad and host once I get a place to do so that isn't as much of a common living space.After a month of CS rejection in China, I surfed 2 nights in Shenzhen and it was wonderful.+ 1 night in Novi Sad, Serbia+2 nights in Amsterdam

Metropolis is the most beautiful thing I have seen. Lost in Translation? Almost Famous, Pi.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Buddhist temple in Chengdu, China.
Biking in the Danish countryside from Gedser to Copenhagen. Bike paths following highways. Getting lost in Rotterdam on my bike after eating a hash brownie was also heavenly.

Teach, Learn, Share

Building, like with metal or wood. Not beautifully crafted but functional and sturdy.
