About Me

I'm a young guy going through a third or quarter life crisis. I quit my job and am traveling the country in a camper van. The goal, which I may or may not achieve, is to visit at least one place in each state.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While my camper van has the necessities of life, a good night in an actual building with some more creature comforts has a lot of value.

More importantly, meeting locals that can show me around or suggest good places, and to provide me some basic social interaction, also has a lot of value.

Interests

A bit of everything. Always trying to learn new things about the world. Lots of knowledge of technology and gaming, though I'm trying to branch out and learn new things. Learning to play guitar and bass to try and keep up with my very musical brothers.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I'd like to think I have eclectic tastes, though I suppose it leans mostly towards alt rock. Radiohead, Animal Collective, Cake, Sufjan Stevens, and The Aquabats are some of my all time favorites. Favorite album is probably Wondervisions by Delicate Steve.

Movies: I feel a bit ignorant on movies compared to other genres. Definitely down to watch some new (to me) movies with you. Generally a fan of comedies and liking the new MCU stuff even though it's kind of Hollywood trash. Love the Andersons, both PT and Wes (easily my favorite). Favorite movie is It's a Wonderful Life. I only watch it every few years, and I cry every time.

Books: Read lots of sci fi and some fantasy when I was younger (still do sometimes). Ender's Game, Ringworld, Xanth. Favorite recent book is Ready Player One. Only book I've ever read where I was excited for the movie before I was even done. Favorite author is Kurt Vonnegut.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a big nerd and know a lot about computers and technology, so if you have any tech support issues is be happy to try to help.

I also pride myself as a general knower of things, so I hope you will learn something from me (and I like to think I can do this without being annoying)
