About Me

ABOUT ME

I don't think I give myself enough credit. That being said, I'm far too sedentary at the moment;I need more!

PHILOSOPHY

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming 'WOO HOO what a ride!'"
-Hunter S. Thompson

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This place inspires the nomad in me. I want to take full advantage; I want to devour.

Interests

My goal in life is to make the most amazing team names in the universe. I take that shit seriously. If you need examples, I'll provide them. I also really like lists. I obviously like to travel, make new friends, experience new things. Magnificent beer is also a high priority of mine, followed by mediocre and then shitty beer. I'm a big fan of couches and base my favorite bars/hangouts around them. Other things I enjoy: ridiculous hats, board games, bodies of water, making sandwiches for trips, reading, creating and looking at art, maps, small face contests.
