About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Mission? Really? No. i just want to meet good people, go places and have fun

ABOUT ME

I like almost all things that are good. I'm a fan of comic books, literature, all kinds of alcohol, music, good movies, late nights, equality, liberalism, economics, good conversations, guitars, records, skateboards, bicycles, snowboarding, outdoors, cigarettes, decadence, and feeling free.

Generally speaking, I get along with almost anyone - you just need to not be a jerk.

I'm into anyone who is willing to have fun (includes: partying but is not limited to.) and reasonable discourse, coffee, live rock and roll and the occasional motorcycle ride - will get on fine with me.

Conversely - people who want a quiet meal, and some soft spoken company will find I can fit the bill. I run in a lot of crowds.

PHILOSOPHY

Getintoit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If you need a place, I'll try my hardest to make mine available. I'm into almost all things like, smoking cigarettes, riding bikes, talking, or floating down rivers, loud music, and having fun.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far it's all positive. Everyone I talk to seems supportive of travel (and really excited about it conceptually) and meeting new people.

Pretty good all in all, but I've still had more fun in hostels. I'll let you know if this site ever surpasses that mark.

Interests

Drinking, dreaming, driving, dancing (alliteration), literature, egalitarianism, freedom, Spanish revolution of 1936, booze, beer brewing, queer theory, cooking, hair, bands, shows, live music, recorded music, being there, and being here, mountains, rivers, valleys, roadsides, roadside dinners, moments, time.

Music, Movies, and Books

Lots. I read and listen to almost everything, with notable preferences to rock and roll, (old) indie rock, and literature, but that changes with my mood. Oh and good dance blues, and soul - but I know little about either of those so if you feel so inclined recommend what you know.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have a really hard time patting my back for living. I just say that because I have a hard time remembering: I've been some really good places and probably forgotten about a lot of fantastic things I've witnessed.

Generally though I'm most amazed in spending time with people I like the best.

Teach, Learn, Share

I do lots of things.

I've worked as: a cook, an employee of the gas company, a mechanic, a tax advisor, a government employee, a general laborer, a salesperson.. some other shit? maybe?

I do other stuff that outside of paid work like: record reviews, music journalism, (attempted) trumpet guitar harmonica and bass playing, baking, played a lot of european football, snowboard, soldering, video games, board games, all kinds of stuff...
