ABOUT ME

Well what to say, I think I only have a partial view of myself so I cannot fully quench this 'all about yous' thirst for what I am all about. It might just be best if you meet me and get a feeling firsthand. Some say I'm funny and outgoing, I can see that, lively, charismatic, charming, handsome? I might not go that far but let us not judge either way. As of now I'm just trying to see for how long I can successfully live out of my backpack while scanavering across the west coast all the while trying to find a spaciousness to this consciousness I seem engrossed in. Perhaps this is for when I find myself back in the "real" world and am offering myself now the chance to have another perspective on how everything goes tick tock. Lately I have been trying to focus and clear the static from my mind, or perhaps tune in to the static itself, who knows. I guess this will have to do for now. Oh yes, I also like to make up words, like scanaver, sounds pretty good huh?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have donated and gotten my address validated and am always telling people who are strange to this whole couchsurfing thing what it's all about and how good of a project it truly is. Recently working a lot but with loads of free time in my near future I am hoping to utilize this project much further, and will definitely continue to spread the good word along the way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Took a road/camping trip throughout California and had numerous/amazing couchsurfing experiences! Santa Cruz, Anderson, Mariposa, Santa Barbara. Met lots of new cool people and shared stories. Can't wait to perhaps one day have a place to call my own where I may have an entire floor with couch surfers strewn about; couches, bunk beds, sleeping bags, hammocks, and BATH TUBS!

Lived in Tempe, Arizona for a bit and would host travelers from time to time.

Currently I am back on the road and just surfed my first couch in a couple years in Minneapolis! Great stuff!

Music, Movies, and Books

anything fresh, original, and thought-inspiring. portugal the man and my morning jacket are probably my favorite bands. dr. dog and tycho are up there as well. kerouac and vonnegut are my favorite authors, like to read a lot of eastern philosophy jive, be here now and how can i help by ram dass are beautiful works of literature. alan watts is usually in my day to day life whether I'm thinking of his words or watching his youtube videos. some movies i've watched this summer are drive (for the 15th time, one of my favorite movies), wild at heart and blue velvet (weird awesome david lynch films). i really love movies that captivate and engross you, if it can do that then thumbs up.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

August 2013 I did a 30-mile loop around the Grand Tetons and it was mile-for-mile the most beautiful/breath-taking hike I've done. Magnificent, stunning, wild, and free.

In September of 2014 I hitchhiked around Iceland for 3 weeks. I slept under the stars for 21 nights, my feet were wet the entire time, I was in love with it.

Teach, Learn, Share

when you and i can reside in peace, and be in that place we bow to, we are one. i will try and think of a useful bit of knowledge and come back to here later. if you are passionate about something, i'm sure i would love to learn about it, teach me to whittle wood! If you are open to information I will teach you everything I know about music, health, fitness, and spirituality.
