Personal Description

I've been using couchsurfing for at least two years now so I feel like I know what to say. If you're reading my profile right now then rest assured, yes I am a cool person, worth meeting and hanging out with. I'm a movie buff and a book geek, I'm a great comunicator and I want to meet as many people and do as many things as I can. I'm like you in that regard that I get bored easily and lately things here (in Lancaster) have been hot and boring. I'm probably gonna feel the urge to adventure for a long long time. You only live once and I don't wanna spend my time as another American wage slave. I wanna see sunsets and water falls. I wanna live. Get to know me. I take a lot of pictures. http://www.flickr.com/garrettfaber

How I Participate in CS

I participate by taking a lot of pictures and saying hello to everyone. I'm always down for adventures.

CouchSurfing Experience

So far I've been to New York, Philly and New Orleans, they're the best place to mention and I used this site to meet a lot of people. I post in the groups sometimes and I'm always facebooking or tumblring. As far as joining a new network, this is by far the best one because it's about people who are actually down to hang out and chill with each other. The ends justify the means.

Interests

Let's see...I'm interested in a lot of things. I like comic books, anime, cult films, sushi, skateboarding, photography, art, the occult, bob dylan, surrealism, chuck palahniuk, chicken, writing, journalism, I dunno, a lot of stuff. I'm down to talk about anything.

Philosophy

Any day above ground is a good day.

Music, Movies, Books

Blow, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Ed Wood, The Rules of Attraction, The Dark Knight, Kill Bill, Yellow Submarine, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, RockNRolla, Snatch, Ghost in The Shell, AKIRA, Moulin Rouge, Eternal Sunshine, Eraserhead, American Werewolf in London, IronMan, Juice, Pulp Fiction, Clerks The Cartoon

Types of People I enjoy

Beautiful people with joy and light flooding out of them. Honest people who will look out for me and not stab me in the back. Creative people who have a lot of ideas, go getters and doers, movers and shakers. I believe we have the willpower to do whatever we want. I don't want to just sit around.

Teach, Learn, Share

The human soul is more valuable than one might think. All you touch and all you see if all your life will ever be, so why not get what you want? Do what you will.

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

Going to New Orleans, could not have done it without couchsurfing (and tumblr and flickr) but this site definitely connected me with some incredibly cool people. Can't wait to go back there. Also cali. I'd love to go there.

What do these numbers mean?

This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.

In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.

When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you.

Garrett came through New Orleans last year and I had the good fortune of getting to spend some time with him. He's a fun, creative guy with the desire to learn and the never-ending need to create more of his fun photographs! He left me with a stack of poloroids that still hang on my wall. I hope you come back through soon, Garrett!

Garrett has lots of energy and a good spirit. We spent a late afternoon driving to Philly from Lancaster and taking a few photos at Saint Joseph's University, then rested at my apartment for a while before he sprung into Center City for an adventure. He gave my roommates and me a choice of polar-droid photos from his collection as a gift. I'm excited to spend a few days with him in Lancaster sometime soon.
