CURRENT MISSION

to knock on the world's doors

ABOUT ME

i am fascinated by desire, music, motives, happiness, and the dances of love. i enjoy innovative ways of looking at life and the human condition.

PHILOSOPHY

i believe in:

being driven by desire
truly understanding my friends and enemies
drinking late into the night
interesting socks
dance parties
supporting my family
rocking out hard either to live music or with friends via drums, guitars, other percussive instruments, or just a capella and whatever sounds can be made out of the surroundings
getting crazy with the wilderness
spontaneity and occasional danger
taking chances
the productive use of reality enhancing mechanisms
89.3 the current - do yourself a favor and listen for like a week straight, it will be a good week: http://minnesota.publicradio.org/radio/services/the_current/

i do not believe in:

retroactive motion for the sake of comfort
planners (i'm more of a macro than a micro planner)
financial gain as an objective
arguments (although I'm down for a debate)
ageism
filtering my encounters or relationships

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i'll be traveling to vancouver, bc, then throughout the western usa. i'm looking to meet some new people, try some new things, and wind up in some interesting circumstances.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

all of my past couch surfing has technically not involved the use of the couch surfing project. which makes it just staying on someones couch who i didn't know prior to the couch stay. this has only happened to me a couple times, but i'm pumped about my future and the role couch surfing might play.
