Personal DescriptionI read often. love my longboard. enjoy reading random articles on the internet. i like random information. i roam the city streets often, usually going to various spots to hang. i like tea and baseball. animals are cool too.
i enjoy people, basically anyone. i can talk about anything.
I studied economics and environmental studies at boston college, and am currently studying applied mathematics at stony brook university. I try to live life without regrets, and try to learn from mistakes to be wiser in the future.
I want to visit Marionville missouri because I am obsessed with squirrels...
Oh, and I dance on tables.
How I Participate in CSI hosted out of my dorm room as much as I could. I plan to use the group meetings much more, where ever I am. I cs-ed on my spring break road trip through the east coast a few months ago. i surfed in portland and seattle, and brought back interesting stories of my day's findings to my hosts. for example, i returned to victoria with my collection of omens and news that i will head to alaska (After hawaii, obviously). I see much more travel in the future, and I see much more couchsurfing with it. CouchSurfing ExperienceInspired by my first couchsurfer- Suhas.
In asheville, Pat hosted 3 groups... one of the nights, 9 people crashed there. It was a great time.
Lots of fun when Hannah visited from TN. Well, it was st. patty's day week, so obviously. Oh, and then brendan reilly attempted to kill me via Matte tradition. hmm...Interestslongboarding, music, beaches, green development, smart growth, urban reform, guitar, movies, having fun, tea, exploring, wandering, wildlife, christmas lights, popped corn, economics, environmental issues, laughing, long conversations about anything, politics, philosophy, late nights, long walks, putting my feet in the sand, reading, learning.PhilosophyNothing in the past can be changed, so there's no sense in thinking too hard about it. Just learn and move forward. I have to be smart and trust my instincts.
I would say regarding life, it has a Sartrean spin to it. I feel that you are only what you make yourself. If you are unhappy with something, do what is necessary to change it. There are way too many amazing things to see and places to go, people to meet, books to read, foods to eat, beaches that must be danced on in the moonlight... for someone to be unhappy.

"why you? why us for that matter? why anything? because this moment simply is."
- vonnegutMusic, Movies, Bookshmmm. there are so many, but here are some of my current favorites.
V for vendetta, pans labyrinth, the departed, boondock saints, Lord of the Rings, the Matrix, No Country for Old Men, Shaun of the Dead, 28 days later, Shaun of the Dead, East of Eden
Atmosphere, bob marley, sublime, deltron zero, the mars volta, brand new, Eric Clapton, Led Zep.
The Sun Also Rises, Brave New World, Huckleberry Finn, The Pearl, Song of Solomon, Slaughterhouse Five, Warrior of the Light, A Man Without a Country, Aristotle works, "America" by Allen Ginsberg, A Power Governments Cannot Suppress, the Alchemist.Types of People I enjoypeople that like to talk, people that have something to say, people that are open minded, completely random, those that like to learn, those that like to teach. People that want to change the world. people old, people young.
“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”
Teach, Learn, Sharestories, laughs, guitar, fireballs. I make mean pancakes. I can show you a magic trick or two. I think I am amazing at rock-paper-scissors, so we can try that out. im a professional at crepes as well.
Im sure I have some talent. Couchsurfing put me on the spot, and I blacked out and couldn't come up with anything. Damn! the sun was in my eyes, my goldfish died, the planets weren't aligned correctly. One Amazing Thing I've Seen or DoneIt was awesome when I first had squirrels climb onto my lap when I went to the boston commons.
seeing my first waterfall in monoa.
graduated college is pretty amazing.
constantly changing over the years into what I am now... I dig that.Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org ProjectGive to the people!

Jul 23, 2008  Positive So, I hope you haven't left yet, Darryl, bc you were basically my bff the week before I left to travel in Japan. This guy can shoe shop with the best of 'em, and can I just tell you he is a blast on the beach! Anyone who can turn a palm root, calcified coral chunks, and imagination into 3 hours of childhood-like fun is always a good time. What can I say, man, we chilled good and hard and if you've left I will be heartily sad. Darryl is a good dude with good karma coming his way... Miss ya!  From Jonathan Aguilar Honolulu, United States

Jun 15, 2008  Positive Daryl is awesome. He has the biggest heart and is open and welcoming to everyone he meets. He may ask for repeated back rubs/scratches, but he makes up for it by giving complimentary head massages/brushing your hair.
 From Victoria Lehde Seattle, United States
Jun 13, 2008 Positive Daryl is a great guy! He was a totally considerate guest.

Mar 13, 2008 Positive Happened to surf at the same time. He was very gracious to let me tag along with his friends and hang out with him for the weekend. Trustworthy and reliable. Hope your trip goes well, and let me know if you guys end up in Texas.  From Patrick Ferebee Asheville, United States
Mar 10, 2008 Positive Daryl and his friends were really cool and gracious guests. Had a good time eating and bar going with them and they seemed to have made the best of their time in our fine town, which is always great to see. Give this guy your couches - especially on his cross-country journey!  From Sara Hess Richmond, United States
Mar 4, 2008 Positive Daryl was too much fun to have come stay. The party turned from 3 guys to 5, but the more the marrier! Everyone was fun to hang out with, and were even nice enough to fold up all my blankets and do my dishes before they left!!! I'd let Daryl and company come stay again any time!!!  From Dan Smith New York, United States
Feb 25, 2008 Positive Daryl hosted us for a few days when my roommate and I took a road trip to Boston. We had such a great time traveling on the bus and subway and eating dinner together.

Feb 20, 2008 Positive Daryl and his roomates put up MY roomate and I (Dan) when we took a short road trip from New York to Boston.

Thanks SO much guys! You are the coolest! From Caro Meyen Hamburg, Germany
Feb 19, 2008 Positive Daryl and his flatmates let us surf their couch in Boston for a couple of nights last week.

There's no excuse for you not to come to ZE GERMANY, Daryl;).
Greetz from Brooklyn.
From MIKA LEINER Hamburg, Germany

 From Nesreen Al-Abssi Eugene, United States
Dec 25, 2007 Positive I had a ton of fun staying with Daryl and his roomies! They are such sweet people who went out of their way to entertain us even though we visited during finals weeks. Awesome experience overall, but the best part was the company!! Anytime you guys find yourselves wondering to the East, look me up, I'd love to return the favour.

Dec 13, 2007 Positive daryl is an awesome guy and would be a great choice to surf with or have over. he 's great to talk to and chill with, and hes down for almost anything. he fancies himself a guitarist/editor/entreprenuer/pseudo-hippy/rapper/scholar and you can add more or take some off the list depending on when you meet him, but hes always cooking up something fun and crazy.
From BOSTONAUSSIE Melbourne, Australia
Sep 7, 2007 Positive Staying with Daryl was my first couchsurfing experience. I had an absolutely awesome time with him.
