About Me

CURRENT MISSION

promote my book, Expressive Voting

ABOUT ME

I am my own person, I have a lot of dreams, and I like sharing what I think if people are interested.

If you want to have fun I'm always down! I've studied the "art of conversation" and I like encouraging people to be friendly. If you could use a good wingman hit me up. Being flirty isn't about tricking people into sex, it's about helping things happen in the coolest way they possibly can! Or something like that :)

I also love psychology and enjoy helping people figure out their feelings. But please know that I wouldn't offer anyone advice unless they asked. I am pretty sure that you have it all under control, particularly since you are here on CS!

PHILOSOPHY

I am pretty independent but I am interested in everything about people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to host when I can. I think it's one of the most fun things I do actually.

I've never actually been hosted yet. Will you take me pls? ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted two pairs of surfers back in 2007 and we had a fun time together. I haven't since had roommates who were cool with couchsurfing, but I have hosted about a dozen people through airbnb in the past couple years, and that has been pretty fun, but not as cool as couchsurfing!

Interests

solving mysteries with a series of humble insights! figuring out why people aren't really bad, they're just not seeing everything clearly, and studying how to push us back onto the right track. I am totally inspired by the series of amazing experiences I've had in my life, right up to this summer when I experienced my third Burning Man. I'm now back in default world but ready to keep crawling it like playa.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm really passionate about writing right now, and I'm reading things that give me perspective on that, I guess!

I'm totally obsessed with music, and I know a lot about rock, alternative, electro, techno, house and more. Lately I've been mostly exploring techno and other electronic genres.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The weddings of two cousins in two years.

Three Burning Man events and two PEX Summerfests
