About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live the life imagined...

ABOUT ME

We're brothers living together Seattle. We are respectul, educated, clean, energetic, hygenic, athletic and trustworthy young men. Both of us will respect you and your property, should you host us, and we would expect the same, should you choose to surf our couch. We are more than happy to share our couch, roof, and food. We are fairly basic cooks, but will ensure you don't go to sleep hungry.

We don't drink, smoke or do drugs, but would be be totally cool with going to a bar or show/concert.

PHILOSOPHY

Man must feel the earth to know himself and recognize his values...God made life simple, it is man who complicates it.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: adventure novels, naturalist genre, environmentalist non-fiction, and returning to the classics I didn't have the attention span for in high-school (1984, Scarlett Letter, Of Mice and Men, etc.)

Magazines: Men's Journal, National Geographic Traveler, Time, Newsweek, Conde Nast Traveler, Esquire, Businessweek, Outdoor Life.

Music (most of the music spectrum) including: Sublime, Jack Johnson, Rise Against, 311, John Butler Trio, Blink 182, Bloc Party, Dave Matthews Band, Notororious BIG, Jay-Z, TI, Saves the Day, Anberlin, Jimi Hendrix, Bruce Springsteen, Taking Back Sunday, Coldplay, Modest Mouse, House/Techno, MGMT, U2, the Cranberries, Native American Indian Chanting (it's quite relaxing), Led Zeppelin, lesser known indie bands, Minus the Bear, Brand New...the playlist goes on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think we have some stories worth sharing...

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach/Share:

We have a little bit of knowledge on a vast number of topics. We would be able to teach you the basics on any number of the following: skiing, cycling, raquetball, fishing, climbing, fixing a flat tire, carpentry, getting lost then finding your way, how to sniff out the best local diners...the list goes on. We are also very handy (if you host us, we would be happy to help you with one or two less-time-consuming home repairs).

Learn (these quickly came to mind):
- a second language
- how to play the guitar
- how to ride a horse
- how to ride a bull
- rock climbing techniques
- traveling for cheaper

Keep learning and you'll keep living.
