Life is for living and experiencing. Everything else gets in the way. I don't care for money, but I love the stuff it makes easier, so I work. I like learning new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just moved back to Austin with my beautiful girlfriend, Amanda, and would like to participate in the program still. I'm not sure how many world travellers make it through Austin, but I'll do my best to be a good surfer... I hosted a handful of CSers at my flat in Prague and surfed with another handful on a couple of trips on the Old Continent.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm currently reading Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. I enjoy Hercule Poirot novels (thanks to Ervin), as well as Herman Hesse, Truman Capote, Jonathon Safran Foer, Salinger, Hemingway, and Chekhov. As far as movies go, I'm a sucker for a car chase, and only watch chick flicks with my chick. I have a music collection of over 400 Gigabytes and if you promise not to tell the FBI, I'll give you some...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After installing the rat lines, I couldn't resist being the first to ascend the mast whilst underway. Four miles from Anguilla, I could see three nations from the spreaders. http://www.flickr.com/photos/chadwadams/2196892814/in/set-72157603691105955/
