CURRENT MISSION

Figure it all out, see it all, do a few crappy jobs along the way, rekindle the fires of something something and then exit left and lock the door but not before I get a bite or two to eat.

ABOUT ME

Always looking for an adventure, to learn, and stuffed burgers.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy changes by the hour. Within my mind is a swirling universe of contradictory beliefs and behavior which results, externally, in a wide acceptance of human shape and behavior. On Monday I anxiously wanted to see every nook and cranny of the world and read absolutely everything, but on Tuesday night, I felt truly content. If I could have one thing, I would want an absolute Truth.

Experimental living. There is an experimental, thoughtful, beautiful, awkward response to every situation, statement, question, feeling. I attempt to live as socially experimental as possible- unless I'm tired.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

by providing something real, conscious, and of no charge.
