About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Find The Tastiest Treats Across The World!

ABOUT ME

I love to travel the world and meet new people with new culture and experiences to share. I live in Denver with anywhere from 7-13 roommates at any given time. I am a vegetarian and finding great, tasty treats (or cooking with people) is a must in my life. I love to work on and ride mopeds. I love cigarettes! Playing games (board games etc) are a huge part of the household's activities.

PHILOSOPHY

I love to live and I live to love!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm just starting this website because friends of mine in San Francisco were hosting people for a while last time I was great. Had fun with some girls from Australia. Thought it seemed pretty legit. I'm going to be traveling through Europe soon, so I thought it might be handy!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Staying with a rad group of folks in Switzerland while playing music in Europe. Had a great time with them and I wish to share the same sort of easy going hospitality.

Interests

Oh lots of things interest me. Let's make a list... Music. Reading. Video games. Pirates. Candy. Camping. Foxes. Painting. Hot Fries. Ice cream. Stuffed animals. Little treasure boxes. Making jewelry. Board Games/Card Games. Cigarettes. Really worth while beer.

Music, Movies, and Books

Tons, oh so much! The Fantastic Mr. Fox, Darjeeling Limited, Dead Poet Society, Fight Club.
I like all sorts of music. Everywhere from bluegrass to Scandinavian metal!
Books... The Dresden Files, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings.. mmm fantasy and fiction I suppose is my very favorite.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a week in the Dakhala deserts of Egypt with a Bedouin tribe. It was absolutely amazing. Stirred up my heart more than any other experience thus far.

Teach, Learn, Share

I take old broken/miscellaneous/ugly jewelry and I take it apart...and rebuild really awesome jewelry with it! I've supported myself for the past four or so summers on the road, paying my rent and feeding my belly, by doing so. It's a nice, mobile skill to have.
All ya need is a pair of pliers, a few thrift stores to buy some old, unloved chains or parts, and a little bit of creativity.
