CURRENT MISSION

to never have a real job

ABOUT ME

i'm kind of quiet...i read a lot...watch a lot of movies. im a vegetarian and somewhat of a radical i guess. at this point in my life im starting to see everything for the big joke that it is which means i like to laugh and i like other people who like to laugh. i want to see the world and meet the people in it. i want to read books in cafes, watch beautiful movies that make me cry and just generally enjoy my life. i still haven't seen everywhere in the world which means i still don't know where i want to live. i spend my time working in alaska during the summer and then traveling all winter. eventually i hope to settle down somewhere outside of the united states but for now im still just traveling.

PHILOSOPHY

people should do what they want.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i have a couch that im willing to share and am hoping to find couches when im traveling again.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

seeing as how i spend 7 months out of the year traveling i have spent a lot of time on people's couches over the years...i wouldn't have my life any other way.

surfed with: kareem and hazzem in egypt, felix and eva in budapest, sam in melbourne and all my lovely friends who have let me sleep on their couches throughout the years...thats a long trail across the world, starting in alaska, down to the contiguous united states, across the contiguous united states and then blazing a white hot trail across europe, africa, central asia and now australia.

hosted: ginger and deborah in alaska...hoping to have a lot more swing by this summer!
