ABOUT ME
***ATTENTION*** SORRY THIS IS AN OLD 'ABOUT ME' BIT. I DON'T FEEL LIKE UPDATING RIGHT NOW SO JUST READ THIS AND FIGURE OUT MY TRAJECTORY AND ADVANCE ME A COUPLE YEARS ;) *** Currently I am on the move. I have driven 30,000 miles since September 20th, 2010 and I will drive 50,000 more before this year is out! I enjoy the adventure of a new town almost everyday, and make it my mission to drive my hotel neighbors nuts with the $40 clarinet i picked up in Sheridan, Wyoming. With some good company to hang with here and there, my job would be the best. I like people and enjoy indulging in idle conversation. I love all kinds of food and will try just about anything at least once. I try to eat as much sushi as I can and I love the succulent soft flesh of quality raw Maguro. Lets get sushi! All interesting culinary experiences welcome as well.
And then there is music. I love music. I'll tell you more in my interests.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
With my current job I find myself all over the country, and since my company provides me a comfy hotel room, I have been hitting up couchsurfers to show me around their native habitats, going to their favorite watering holes and eateries. I have hosted and been hosted and its always been a kick in the pants. I also participated in a local cs activity in Seattle which was a blast.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
A couple years ago I had an amazing opporutunity to live in a 3500 sq ft, 20th floor penthouse overlooking Honolulu for 4 1/2 months. 2 1/2 of which I had the place to myself. With three extra amazing bedrooms, I put it up here on couchsurfing and hosted some really nice folks. I've also surfed with people and have mostly had great times of it. In Seattle I spent a day playing urban golf, which is golf through the city using a nerf golf ball. In between holes we hit a different bar.
Interests
I love music! I've been an addict since I was wee child. First favorite song is Stray Cat Strut. I'm a bit of a music geek and I worked in a record store for three years in my younger years. I play guitar and sing some. I can fiddle with other instruments as well and have recorded some of my own music that I'm proud of. That being said, I enjoy a good sing-a-long. I also enjoy sculpting and am good with my hands. I'm interested in connecting with good peeps. I love Burning Man! I absolutely love a good and hot hot tub or better yet, hot springs. Would love some hot spring missions.

Teach, Learn, Share
