I am an explorer by nature; I love experiencing new places. I'm a curious and optimistic person; easily amused and entertained. I love the natural world and all enjoyable forms of water, even heavy fog. I value deep thoughts. I enjoy meeting new people and making new friends, and learning from other people's lives.
I enjoy healthy, clean foods. Music speaks to me. I'm into chili temperatures, nature excursions, mechanics, deep conversations, learning new things, and simple everyday adventures.

PHILOSOPHY

A person's thought-life is extremely valuable. Every single bit of it is significant and important.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I spread the good word of couchsurfing to every adventurer I know. I see couchsurfing as a cure for our personal economy and superficial comfort bubbles.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My friend and I once backpacked across the whole country by means of hitchhiking, rideshares, and couchsurfing. Couchsurfing made our adventuring fun and exciting, and the forum enabled a vast portion of the success of our journey. We were able to meet so many good people and value each of those specific experiences.

Interests

Ships with sails, music enhancement technology, percussion and string instruments, horn instruments. The acoustic reverberating sound of percussion on a harp of strings really gets me. I enjoy finding deals on quality items through craigslist, as well as rare Sunday morning garage sales. I encourage a hobby in two-stroke auto-mechanics by experimenting on the potentials of performance of 70's pedal mopeds. I enjoy conversations about the science of things. I also enjoy discovering great breakfast/lunch shops. And lately, I've been experimenting with rice seasonings, trying to create a few perfect recipes.

Music, Movies, and Books

My interests in music are mostly comprised of smart, mathematically creative compositions, including symphonies as well as band-written music. I believe that music should be complex and intriguing.
My deepest interest in movies mostly revolves around 70's-90's sci-fi thrillers. I do enjoy witty humors and I usually enjoy complicated heist operations.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've kayaked next to dolphins, and near sharks and otters. I've hitch hiked successfully and enjoyably for a week and a half. I've experienced this country's largest cities. I've successfully and enjoyably traversed this country from Brooklyn to Portland equipped with only a pack and a laptop. I've experienced Moscow, Russia and it's nonstop techno radio stations, and spent a season living in the pleasant and calm countryside of Holland where bicycles replace fuel consumption and life is lived more locally.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to roll up your luggage contents like a sandwich bag. It saves a ton on space, and keeps your clothes more wrinkle free.
