Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really like to host guests but I'm not living in my own house and don't always have the space. . . .get in touch and hopefully I can help you out. Luckily, I have had the opportunity to both host and surf with some great people and hope to continue.

Interests

I'm a simple person who enjoys relatively simple things; mainly music, snowboarding, and being outdoors. I try to spend summer attending music festivals and camping and winters are spent snowboarding.

Generally, I feel that good things tend to happen to good people, so I just try to do my best.

Music, Movies, and Books

Check out my band, Harnessing The Universe: (http://harnessingtheuniverse.com). My "go to" is progressive / stoner / psych rock, but I'll listen to most music. I like Brant Bjork, Black Mountain, Maynard James Keenan, John Frusciante, Cake, Mastodon, etc. etc.

I haven't watched a lot of movies and daydream too much to become immersed in reading books. The last book I read was Marching Powder.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I quit my job and started a new life
