ABOUT ME

I take pride in being technically homeless -- a couch surfer, I quit my job to travel and to focus on what I really want to be doing. I play music in a band, drums and guitar, I want to be a filmmaker, I love poker but I hate money, I love arguments, I'm competitive, I used to play video games but now they feel lost on me, although I love watching a good game of Starcraft, I hate cubicles, tea > coffee, I write stuff, I enjoy run on sentences and fingerbowls (although I don't think I've ever had the opportunity to use one).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, I've only just begun, but I hope to participate by staying on couches and one day offering my couch (When I have one) to people as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I moved out of my apartment in November '08 and I quit my job in January, and have been surfing with friends ever since. I feel pretty free now; I'm just living on money that I have saved while I travel, learn, and cultivate my interests.
