CURRENT MISSION

Figure out what I'm doing with my life

ABOUT ME

I've lived in Oregon all my life and love it here. I'm a generally easy-going guy who loves music, sunshine, and having fun. I like barbecue-ing and tossing a frisbee (and I have been known to do both at the same time)

PHILOSOPHY

I've always thought of myself as a laid back person. But college is seriously stressing me out!

Currently my philosophy simply involves balancing work, school, and having fun. It is quite the task.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My couch is definitely open if you are in the Portland area and need a place to crash. It's so comfy that I even sleep on it sometimes. I'm 5 minutes outside of downtown.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet. But I'm going to Europe soon and hope to learn the ways of couch surfing!

Interests

I love surfing (on water) and just going to the beach in general. My favorite food is probably pizza, or really any food that features cheese. I like learning all sorts of things; from baking to calculus to chemistry to musical instruments. I really like to make things. I paint a little, draw a little, and usually spread myself a little too thin. I just want to do everything.

Campfires are probably one of my favorite things ever though. Campfires at the beach you say? Well that's just heaven on a stick.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a fan of all Tim Burton's films. I also really like movies like Snatch, Donnie Darko, Out Cold, Fight Club, zombie films like Dawn of the Dead, Shawn of the Dead,28 Days Later and I actually though I Am Legend was pretty sweet.

Radiohead
Sublime

The Decemberists
Cold War Kids
Coheed and Cambria
Tool
Cake
Neko Case

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While couchsurfing in Frankfurt, I had beer that tasted like bacon. That was pretty amazing.
