Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I want to live on the line where the sea meets the sky. But the damn thing takes one step back every time I take a step forward. Good thing I'm stubborn.
ABOUT ME
I have the voice of a 1930's radio broadcaster, so sometimes its hard to sound sincere. But I love an adventure and have dedicated myself to having some more of them, sober or annihilated. I'm a sucker for an exotic experience, or a conversation that lasts three hours. I miss the days of talking to a friend on the phone while watching the same TV show. If you put a mic in my hand, I will start speaking or singing, though I'm much better at the former than the latter. And nothing beats a pleasant surprise!
PHILOSOPHY
Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Was on here before a long time ago and really enjoyed the experience while on a cross country adventure. Now, I am planning solo global adventures, but I think the only way to truly experience a culture is through its food and its people. I can afford to stay at a hotel, but I'd rather spend that money on my host's dinner as they show me what truly makes home unique.

For books, I can actually say I have a straight up favorite.
Joseph Heller's Catch-22 God, I love that book.
