CURRENT MISSION

Find my place

ABOUT ME

I just graduated college, and I'm now in the transitional time in my life. I lived Birmingham, England for a year in college. I traveled through Europe by train for a few months. A few months ago I hitchhiked out to Telluride Colorado where I currently live as a ski bum. I love meeting people with crazy stories and extraordinary lives. I live for music, cinema, literature, and the outdoors. I enjoy camping, hiking, skiing and anything else you can do outside. I also love a good night on the town, and a great beer. I hope to see as much of the world as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.
-Augustine

"I have found out that there ain't no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them."
-Mark Twain

"Because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop.."
-”Jack Kerouac

"I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you can't see from the center."
-Kurt Vonnegut

"Stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories."
-Ray Bradbury

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I backpacked through Europe for two months and met many new friends, drinking buddies, and teachers. I am semi-involved in the Duluth/Superior community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had nothing but excellent couchsurfing encounters. I know I wouldn't have been able to take many of my trips without this community!

Intereses

All kinds of movies. Books, books, and books. Outdoor activities: biking, canoeing, camping. Music as well, I play violin. I love stories, and the art of conversation.

Algo increíble que he hecho

The Northern Lights in January while camping in Canada. The sky danced with so many colors and reflected off the fresh snow, it was breathtaking.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I don't speak a second language which is one of my life regrets. I would love to learn any local phrases you could teach me.

I would love to play music with you.
