About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Awesomeness!

ABOUT ME

I want to:
Experience other cultures, places, people.
Make recordings that do good music justice.
Ride my bike everywhere.
Have fun.
Take a nap.
Make peoples lives better.

Currently:
I just graduated with a degree in International Relations, and this summer I am participating in a human rights program in Bosnia. When I get back I want to work to improve education/sustainability/community art/film/music, make the world more bike friendly, record a bunch of awesome albums, play alot of music, and have as much fun as I can handle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted two fine gentlemen; surfed in Austin, Copenhagen, Lausanne, Malmo, Olympia, and Seattle.

Interests

Awesome people. Even more so, awesome people working together to do awesome things. Riding bikes. Not driving cars. Recording bands/music/sounds in general. Going on adventures. Eating at home. Trying to draw and being terrible. Making music or at least noise. 40s. Modern art. Constructivism. Recycling. Community development. World news and politics. Dreaming about the things I want to do. Finishing school so I can do them.
