About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To eat everything in sight, then spit it back out.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in a small logging town on the Pacific Ocean, and I now live in a small coal mining town in Poland.
I think quite often, and then try to practice the ideas I have through art. Sometimes works, sometimes doesnt.... always fun trying.
I really enjoy public and interactive art. I am not a pretentious jerk, but I do think art is more important than most televison programs.
I have a small wart on my toe, I think it is ugly but nobody ever really sees it.
I come from a large family, and we really like to take the piss out of each other.
I ride my bicycle nearly everyday.
I want to learn how to sail, well.
I often pick up things I find on the street.
and
I think that it is o.k. to trust strangers.

PHILOSOPHY

dont take pictures
make them

if you dont take a photo of something, maybe you will trick yourself into remembering the experience in a more unique way, and hence make it more memorable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i have surfed a few times, but i am more excited about hosting. i like to entertain.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i fell in love with couchsurfing when i broke up with my girlfriend before i had a new place to live. i surfed a different friends couch almost everynight for 3 weeks! cathartic.

Interests

i am interested in whatever you're interested in....no, really. i enjoy conversation like a kitten does a ball of yarn...it doesnt really matter what color it is.

but, should you be knitting a sweater out of wine, history, south park, literature, punk rock, cookbooks, chess or social change, i would be most happy to try it on.
