Personal Description

ME: 25, born in North Dakota, grew up in Nebraska, studied, wandered, worked all over. I'm fascinated by everything international and always look for new budget travel info. Bloggers opened my eyes to new ways of getting from A to B and now I'm pedaling across South America: mebobandsurly

My time is mostly spent reading or biking from one place to another, but breathing, movies, and pushing buttons on my camera are also high on the list. Someday I hope to cover the walls of my someday-house with B&W prints from around the world. I'm diving deeper into the Spanish and Latin American film scene, because I love the movies, but still couldn't tell you the who's-who of famous directors and actors.

Trevor fun facts: my smile is lop-sided; I flush public toilets with my shoe; I turn off lights; I find poetry in refrigerator word magnets; and such...Now I'm living thrifty, working, and taking on one project at a time.

How I Participate in CS

Openness: you write, I write, viceversa. We can share ideas & couches.

Whenever possible I organize gatherings, parties, dinners, and outings with local CS communities both where I live and in cities I visit.

Interests

INTERESTS: Traveling dirty-like; backpacking feather-light; NPR; camping with friends; sushi; learning about vagabonds, pirates, criminals, and those on the edge of society; biographies; speeding; chess; music and movies in general, especially foreign films; basketball; people that transcend the norm like Henry Rollins and Manu Chao; being on a beach at sunset & in a jungle at night; flash cards & audio language lessons; sailing; diving; tropical turquoise waters; capoeira; hip hop's history and expansion throughout the world; following crazy Andy's crazy travels on HoboTraveler.com; food that makes your head sweat (Indian, Thai, Mexican); Latin America; thinking up short stories I never write

Philosophy

"Face the facts, you are afraid, or you jump. Get a passport and buy a plane ticket, then you leave, it always works out. That is what is great about travel, there is a path. You will never have enough money, I will guarantee that. I am endlessly curious, I am not endlessly wanting to buy things." - Andy, The Hobo Traveler

Fortune Cookie, February 12th, 2007: "You will travel to exotic places."

TRAVEL WELL: One Bag

Music, Movies, Books

LAST 20 MOVIES SEEN: The Art of Travel; Transiberian; The Children of Huang Shi; Vicky Christina Barcelona; Idiocracy; Slumdog Millionaire; Gommorah; All Inclusive; The Headless Woman; The Pope's Toilet; Paper Tiger; Postcards from Lenigrad; Crude; Empty Nest; Tear This Heart Out; Yes Man; Sonar no cuesta nada; El arriero; Taken; Bourne Supremacy

MUSIC: On my iTunes & Pandora lately: Soul Coughing, Suba, Alika, Kevin Johansen, St. Germain, Operation Ivy, Suicide Machines, Jane's Addiction, Townes Van Zandt

AUTHORS: I try to read uplifting authors but my favorites will always be the down-and-outers who live their literature, like Orwell, Albert Cossery, Henry Miller, Kerouac, Carpentier, Cortazar, Ernesto Sabato, Dostoevsky, etc. Journalists Isabel Pisano and Kapuscinski have important things to say, besides the fact they dodge bullets to finish books. Novels written by true-life adventurers inspire me.

MEMORABLE BOOKS: PAPILLON & Banco by Henri Charriere; FLASH by Charles Duchaussois; Children of Cain: Violence and the Violent in Latin America; PROUD BEGGARS; Kon Tiki; Slanky; El Tunel; WE; Keep the Aspidistra Flying; LA NOCHE BOCA ARRIBA; Out of America: A Black Man Confronts Africa; THE BEACH

Types of People I enjoy

Travelers; those who have decided to do something different; those who realize time is short; anyone who knows about specific, strange, random things. I respect dedication and dedicated people.

Yet another Austinite who is equal to a cool banana! That place seems to be breeding cool people.

Trevor is a fun and active lad and a huge source of stories and helpful contacts. Funny how now that I'm in his neck of the woods, he is headed towards mine. I'm sure our paths will cross again, sooner or later.

One of the last things Trevor told me was: "Sorry my junk was all over the place". Yes! His "junk" was all over the place... not just any junk: it was a privilege for me to be a part of Trevor's incredible journey, to see Surly go through dramatic and emotionally charged transformations, to witness Trevor's growing excitement as he was about to embark on the adventure of a life time!

Trevor is a very gracious guest, considerate, fun, good cook, clean and respectful. His dedication and motivations are to be praised.

I highly recommend him as a guest!
2 enthusiastic thumbs up!

I like people who has got the guts to ride on a bike to trotter the world ... and Trevor is one of those few. He's a sweet guy that manages to deal pretty well with his "gringo" background - no offense - Looks like a well travelled person easy to be with. I really enjoyed his company at Ervelin's house and even it was a totally packed couch, Trevor fit in really easy, being part of it right away. Looking forward to meeting you, maybe in Brasil, maybe on my bike too

Trevor is a great guest. He will tidy your living room, wash your dishes and cook your food. He's like having a housewife without the emotional dependence/social obligation and is perhaps the most unobtrusive guest to ever grace my couch (couchsurfing or otherwise). In addition to being the most convenient guest ever he's also full of great stories/ life experiences from his extensive travels. Furthermore, how many of you have met a real live Nebraskan?... Didn't think so. Overall, he's definitely a keeper.

PS. Tropical hosts should remind Trevor to bathe frequently.

Trevor is one of the nicest couchsurfers I've ever met so far. He is very gentle, kind, smart, funny, great cooker, and much more!.
The time I've spent with him was great, from jumping around caracas, exploring caves, hiking big mountains, to playing around like kids and hitchiking through the coastline it was a great experience overall. I wish him the very best in his journey through South America and hope we met again in the future.
I regard him highly and recommend it to anyone.

Cheers Survivor Man!

all i can say is that trevor is truly what c.s is about.

after hosting people non stop we seriously needed a break for a night to ourselves.

we met trevor on the beach & immediately hit it off- w in a short amount of time, we demanded that he stayed w us!

so often w c.s you really have to go out of your way to accommodate people- but w trevor it was different, he made it an absolute pleasure hosting him. he was so considerate, GENEROUS, & interesting to talk to, that he left us refreshed. honestly, he is welcome in our home when ever he needs a place & i would recommend that to everyone!

I spent a great time with Trevor and Meagan, his friend from Australia. Trevor is a very polite and easygoing guy and his spanish is perfect.They only spent one night at my place but it was quite intense. After going to a baseball game and having so much fun, my car broke down and it was quite an adventure. My friends came and we tried to pull it but it didn't work. We were even given a ride by the police, so I'm sure that was a first for them.

Trevor is not just a good guest and person, he has such innate sense of interdependence of people in community, things and phenomenas in the world, that makes living near him a truly joyful experience you want to be continued! This smily guy is a deep thinker and one of those who cares. Remember of his stay with a warmth in my heart, and definately will welcome my new friend anywhere I live again!

One of my best experience of CS. Trevor definetly is into the CS concept so much. I really like this guy, coz with his short age, he has many experience in traveling, and full of knowledge. Also into all the latinamerican things, I think his soul is Latinamerican. Trevor is a good person to have a conversation where he grab the attention of the people around him. Smart, focus in his future and how to get what he want. Always keen to help others, and respecfull. A model type of guy. When I took him to the Panama Canal he get all the information as possible of the construction and profit of the Panama Canal, asking all the question to the tour guide in the site "I was so impress". He make me feel very proud of Panama. Im glad that I met him. Trevor all the best in your future and always you will be welcome in Panama. You should meet him. Hasta Luego.

He is a world traveler always planning his other worldly voyages in everything he does. 100% fluent in Spanish and reads more books than I can count. He has filled his passport book up more than once and now they just keep stamping over old stamps. If he is looking to crash on your couch, have him make you sushi or a cup of mate. Great writer, very educated and could teach you something new guaranteed. I am always wondering what part of the United States he is in, his job puts him out there to teach others about travel. We need to plan a trip together soon!!

What can I say, Trevor is awesome. I went up to Austin for ReggaeFest, and when things didn't go exactly as planned, Trevor swooped in to the rescue. We met up at the fest, and afterwards he gave me a ride back to my car so I could get my stuff and come to his awesome CS party (and boy he knows how to throw a good party). When it got super late and I was super tired (and fixin' to drive myself home), he insisted I crash out in the back room, which was a nice relief after a weekend of late nights. He truly has the CS spirit, and if you ever get the chance to chill with him, you won't forget it.

trevor's like an international concierge: when he's not accommodating domestic travelers, he's reminding folks to use their passports. his sincerity, curiosity, and compassion are almost too big for the cozy austin apartment, but somehow he manages to make more than enough room for anything and anyone. cuz he's just awesome like that.

#5 If he's not around, he might hook you up with his awesome roommates for a place to stay.
#4 He rides his bike/the bus because he's a socially/environmentally/fiscally responsible human being, yet
#3 He eats meat (hooray, bacon).
#2 He likes reptiles, beer, and foreign languages.
#1 I know that mi casa es Trevor's casa, and vice versa.

I had the oppurtunity to stay with him in Costa Rica and he was one of the most gracious hosts I can imagine. Plus, he's a boy scout so he can probably show you lots of cool knots.

First of all, I wish I could've been a better host or spend more time with Trevor but a weird week combined with excessive workload and a cranky landlady forced me to change plans the last minute. Fortunately, Trevor landed with a great local CSer and I managed to host him for one night before he left back for Austin. That one night (and multiple phone calls) served to show the quality of this guy. Shame on me for bad-hosting but I will definitely hit him up, as visiting Austin is in my near plans.

Mariana and he came and picked me up from the airport so I wouldn't get lost and had to wait a couple hours because my plane was late and I took a long time getting through the official stuff, but they were still smiling and holding up a sign for me!

Trevor's energy, optimism, & thirst for life are invigorating. Plenty of stories & ideas to keep you entertained and on your toes. I've shared a tent with him so I know he doesn't bite or scratch.

Even though Trevor is relatively new to Austin, he took us to one of the top bbqs in Austin. He showed me the different districts in the city, from the east side to UT, Zilker park and other cool areas. It was a great introduction to Austin :) He's such a cool mellow guy and he really made my friend and I very comfortable at his place. Thank you so much for hosting us!

Trevor was an excellent house guest. I am currently enrolled in a Spanish class and he happens to be fluent in Espanol so we went to Volver. Come back again!

I’ve met plenty of Nebraskans and Trevor is definitely one of the coolest... very easygoing & friendly. We shared stories over dinner and a few beers... sorry the Helena Monday night bar scene couldn't him offer a more exciting birthday! I’d be happy to host him again anytime… and next time I promise there’ll be an actual couch to sleep on!

He may not be able to drive a stick shift but I wont hold that against him.
The first night I met him he took me to a Yacht Rock party. I still haven't recovered!

Trevor was a very kind, respectful guy. We played video games, got late night food, and he let me keep the beer we didn't drink. Nice guy!
