About Me

CURRENT MISSION

like fellini said, i want to live spherically--in many directions. to be open and accept all for what it is without inhibitions

ABOUT ME

At this point in my life I'm ready to drink in everything and live as wholly as possible. All I want to do is listen to good music, surround myself with passionate, inspiring people,

PHILOSOPHY

Experiences are the clay of life. Through your own undertanding and personality, you mold the clay and leave a masterpeice when life's through.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd like to give others a taste of the Philly life while I'm still around here and hopefully travel the world and experience other people's lifestyles all the while growing and understanding those who populate the tiny little green sphere we call earth.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm brand new to the project, so I've never couch surfed before

Interests

I love film and photography above all. Music is a huge passion of mine whether I'm playing or listening. Obviously I love to travel althought I don't do it nearly enough. I'm striving to learn a few diffrent languages.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music favorites include led zeppelin, the doors, edith piaf, nina simone, billie holiday, sufjan stevens, beirut, bob marley & dylan, the gipsy kings, vanessa daou, zap mama, moby, minus the bear, leonard cohen, seu jorge, smashing pumpkins, sublime, thievery corporation, jedi mind tricks and anything with a good message. I go to the movies almost 3 times a week, so I've got a lot of favorites. Independent cinema and old classics are the best. All time favorites of mine are la dolce vita, 8½, notti di cabiria, Lila dit ça, jeux d'enfants, Paris je t'aime, Once, la Mome, the dreamers, slumming, brick, Bullitt (anything Steve McQueen), Notorious, casablanca, eternal sunshine, vanilla sky, and the lost boys. When it comes to books I'm a sucker for poetry and photobooks. I love Richard Brautigan and the Beat Generation. I read a lot, and currently I'm reading This Side of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

From waterfall jumping in Fiji to Live-8 in Philly to watching Zidane head-butt Materazzi on a cruise ship on the Agean while sandwitched between two French nationals , no matter where I go as long as I'm surrounded by stimulating people I'll always ecxperience the amazing. Not a day goes by where I don;t see something life-changingly awesome
