ABOUT ME

I joined this site this in 2007 (?) while on a bike trip from Vancouver down to the Mexico border. It was a life changing experience, I stayed with a bunch of people from CS, as well as managed to use MySpace for all the small towns. that and a few days of camping.

I run a web strategy and development company, #Briteweb.

I am also Executive Director of a huge one-night art show in Vancouver BC called The Cheaper Show.

I am also a musician, I make a wide array on sounds including art-rock, indy-rock, punk-metal, expiremental-jazz, hiphop and world stuff.

I listen to anything good. from classical and opera, to hardcore gangsta rap to willie nelson.

personality attributes: funny, genuine, honest, creative, wild, intelligent, respectful.

I like to party, meditate, read, listen to bands, drink wine (or vodka), have interesting conversation,nerd out on web strategy and design, exercise, be outdoors, try new things.

PHILOSOPHY

the universe backs the part of you that is of clearest intent

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just joined and seek to connect with as many people as possible. I will be venturing out in to the world, and if/when I return I will open my doors to you.

UPDATE: my doors are open and I have had many wonderful guests so far! :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While in Brazil I crashed at some amazing Brazilian peoples homes. Never anywhere else in the world have I encountered such warmth and hospitality.

I used this site for 5 weeks this summer on the west coast of the United States.. Vancouver to Mexico

Music, Movies, and Books

Zahir (Paulo Coehlo) was the last novel I read. Currently I am obsessed with Rumi, and Hafiz, two amazing Sufi poets from the 11th and 12th centuries. I read these religiously everyday.

I like too much different music to list. For example today I listened to: Velvet Underground, Lil' Wayne, David Bowie, Andrew WK, and the Vienna Orchestra. get the idea? :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
