About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

In a nutshell i would be a peanut, but definitely not Planters. Seriously though i'm a dork. I've also got a bad case of wanderlust so i'm excited to get to know more likeminded people across the globe. I spent last fall bumming around europe, mostly in Barcelona. I lived down in mexico for a spell. I'm all about good partying, both dirty and clean. You know balance is a must. I like trying my hand in alot of different mediums of art. My most favorite are singing (mostly non-sensical shit) and jamming on my harmonica. I also do some photo shooting, painting (trying out some under black-light right now). i love traveling across the globe for music festivals. this past year i made my way out to Cali for Cochella. I was there to see Rage reunite, they killed it. so much energy. everything else was a splendid bonus. I traveled to the Carpithian Mountains in Romania for a week long PsyTrance festival on a small farm. Coolest thing ive ever done. Met cool people from all around europe and got to dance in a bearskin with some romanian farmers, enough said. I Just got back from jamming out down in the Everglades for Langerado. so yea ive got that itch, in a nutshell.

PHILOSOPHY

opening myself and constantly reminding myself to recognize the beauty that surrounds me. good vibrations return and strengthen my foundation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was recently introduced to the CS2 project by a good friend of mine. So i haven't participated as of yet other than jamming out at a Boston based house party for couchsurfers in the area. But im looking to build on the good experience by becoming a part of this beautiful network.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

ive couchsurfed (unofficially) at various locations since highschool. my philosophy is, if there is space and your respectful than your welcome, always.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In central Spain from April to October some small towns participate in an activity called an "Encerrar" (spellling might be wrong). This involves releasing a bull into the town square, getting it to charge at you then jumping up the fence. Then we ran the bull out into a field where people were waiting in their beat up offroading cars and on horses. A circle would be formed around the bull. It would then charge at us as we would run and jump ontop of the surrounding cars. the bull would then ram into the cars, taking off bumpers and other parts. When the bull got tired of destroying the cars we called it a day. Spaniards have some odd yet badass forms of entertainment. en serio, de puta madre! and the bull isn't killed at the end so no te pasa nada.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you some things on the harmonica, i could also use to learn some too. I'm trying to do a daily yoga/stretching routine at home, cant afford the classes, so if anyones got a good one that works im open to becoming more flexible.
