CURRENT MISSION

To drive a new stake into reality

ABOUT ME

Hi, I was born in Florida and have lived around the US, but mainly in the pacific northwest (portland and missoula). I am quick at making new friends but also try hard to maintain my old ones. My life in Missoula is fairly relaxed, and when it's not freezing I'm usually outside soaking up the rays. I play music and have released an album in the last year so I have done a lot of traveling around the US supporting that when I'm not in school. I'm currently going to the university of montana for creative writing, and will be graduating in a year. I love to play tennis go bike riding, cook, and play any sort of music. I'm not really a daredevil and although I like to get crazy I don't really like extreme sports or anything like that. I would consider myself more of a bookish person.

PHILOSOPHY

To leave everything better than you found it (or at least cleaner).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Many times of this and other summers I've had friends, and friends of friends drop by sortof informally. My favorite was a 45 year old philosophy professor on his way to a Buddhist retreat who stayed with us for a few days and made really good guacamole.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing mountains at sunrise is pretty much always amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Guitar, making sushi, skateboarding, singing, and poetry, are all things I feel like I can teach/share. Poetry especially because It's what I'm going to school for and I feel like it needs to have more of a place in the world.
