CURRENT MISSION

To be able to feel gravity.

ABOUT ME

I went to Griffith Observatory a few years back and looked at Saturn through their big telescope, and light from Saturn was traveling through billions of miles of interstellar nothingness and going straight into my eye. I liked that feeling. Last year I left the US for the first time, spending a few weeks in Spain and France. When I returned home I had the exact same feeling, suddenly becoming aware of the distance I had traveled, realizing how tiny and bounded my life had been up to that point. I want to feel like this at all times, to never forget how many options there are, how many different kinds of people there are, how many ways there are to live the human experience. Then I want to help people feel the same way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've just started this profile and hope to incorporate couch surfing into all of my future travels.

Interests

Music is my great passion. Listening, composing, researching, discussing, creating. I spent the last several years performing all over the US, which was literally a dream come true. I love to draw, I love to make stupid junk out of what is lying around. Above all I love learning new things. I love seeing real people experience real emotions. Anybody in whom I recognize great passion is the most interesting thing in the world to me.
