ABOUT ME

I still enjoy the concept of explore. dream. discover. Hence I've been on the road for 3 months so far out a planned 6 month trip. Already have driven over 6k miles, most used running off to whatever catches my flippant intrigue. I am always intrigued by the types of people I get the opportunity to introduce myself too and how fascinating those perspectives are. I made the decision to not stay at a hotel a single night on this trip which has landed me in many a TA truck stops in between stops. In the mere 3 months that i've been trekking I have met more then a dozen travelers that have recommended using couchsurfing. Not just those that need a place to crash but want to share experiences, stories, culture, and to paint a bigger picture of the world while making it a smaller place with every handshake. About me: I'm Tocqueville reincarnate with a light dash of Kerouac and a pinch of Twain. That's the best I can do with one of these questions. I swear im much better at speaking with human beings then describing myself to a computer screen.

PHILOSOPHY

Leave every place better then you found it

Don't take a job, make a job

Explore. Dream. Discover.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

On the road for the time being but when I settle I'm definitely making my couch available to woofers and surfers. Love paying it foreward

Interests

Right now I am enthralled with permaculture, hydroponics, aquaponics, energy-efficient design, sustainability, and urban design to name a few but its continuously changing. In recent years developing prototypes and websites for various up-cycling projects has been my past time and for some reason it let me to making huge wine cork designs but I digress. Building and creating...that's the interest.

Music, Movies, and Books

Eclectic and sporadic: from the 6th century, Enlightenment-American Revolution and anything 1940-present. Nowadays i'm much more interested in making music, writing books, and filming along with those that are doing the same. Don't know all their names but they are the ones inspiring me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. Been to 49 of 50 US states (many amazing things in between)and grew up with perspectives on the east, west, and mid-west regions of the USA.
