CURRENT MISSION

Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

ABOUT ME

I was born in Atlanta and have been here most of my life. However, about 2 years ago, I went to Egypt, and it was unbelievable. Since then I have also been to Australia, which was equally amazing. I've definitely been bitten by the bug.

In general, I'm an easy-going person who doesn't take things too seriously. I enjoy laughing, especially at myself, and I try to live my life one day at a time. I love my family, and I love my friends like they were family. I'm a complete bleeding heart.

PHILOSOPHY

"I believe the ability to think is blessed. If you can think about a situation, you can deal with it. The big struggle is to keep your head clear enough to think."

- Richard Pryor

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

About two years ago, I bought a house in the East Atlanta Village (EAV). I have 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and only 1 me. So... I thought that I could perhaps share my good fortune by providing people with a home-away-from-home while meeting some interesting folks in the process and building some karma.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed a bit in college in order to follow bands around and hosted a few bands that would play in my kitchen. I still often crash on floors/couches/horizontal surfaces whenever I'm traveling from here to there.

Interests

The outdoors, running, rock climbing, hiking, camping, music, music festivals, art in general, chili cookoffs (I compete with a couple of buddies), technology, beer, scotch, and the occasional cigar.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Lots of stuff. My true loyalty lies with punk/hardcore/metal, but these days I listen to a wide variety of things. Lately it's been Bob Mould, Drive By Truckers, and The Replacements

Books: I mostly read non-fiction (memoirs, biography, commentary, etc.) but recently I've been reading more fiction, I'm currently reading Watchmen.
