About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To wander this world, climbing mountains, sharing laughs, quietly contemplating, dancing all night, and lending a hand where one is needed

ABOUT ME

I'm currently searching for the most useful accomplishment I am meant to make for this world, while avoiding the ordinary and boring as much as possible in the meantime.
I am very idealistic and whimsical which keeps me going and makes for, at the least, a very interesting life.

PHILOSOPHY

Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and popular opinion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Stranger than Paradise, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Chomsky,
Historical Biographies.

Detroit: Wild City, Visionary Social and Cultural Documentaries,
Visually Striking witty movies, and Cerebral biographical movies.

-This is mostly the genres my netflix drew up for me. I'm fascinated
by this internet age where algorithms are being created to determine
tastes in movies, music and even lovers. This is one of the biggest
draws to sites like this.

I don't have a tv so I don't watch too many shows. But I love Six Feet
Under. When I can't sleep I like to watch the Colbert Report, the
Simpsons or Futurama on my computer.

I have been very into Radio Citizen lately. He is a Berlin jazz
composer who started djing and producing music from various genres all
over the world. I am really into feminist folk music like Ani Defranco
and the Indigo Girls although I've yet to find their modern
counterparts. I also love soulful and meaningful hiphop like the roots
and Handsome Boy Modelling School.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many to mention. Annapurna Base Camp was breathtaking. It was very humbling to be surrounded by some of the earths tallest mountains.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not too bad at cooking. I've fumbled around at playing guitar. I can also crochet some nice scarves. I'm open to learning at least a little about just about everything.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belize, Canada, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Ecuador, Mexico, Nepal, United States
