About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My current mission if I choose to accept it, is to discover more about myself and the world and find a new place to call home!

ABOUT ME

I love being outdoors and experiencing nature but am also addicted to the pace of city life (sometimes). Patterns are my favorite expression of complexity, and I enjoy talking about almost nearly anything.

I enjoy long walks on the beach and, oh wait wrong profile...

PHILOSOPHY

Adopt the pace of nature, hers is patience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm looking to surf and host, meet new people, and learn new things from new people! I think the best thing about couchsurfing is that it gives me a list of new friends around the world that I now have to go see again!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted many amazing people and had the excellent opportunity of surfing with cool cats as well. I have only had amazing positive experiences with couch surfing and all the great people it brings together.

Music, Movies, and Books

Shawshank Redemption is my all time favorite movie, other than that I find that I have horrible taste in movies, but good taste in friends with better tastes than I!

I listen to a wide assortment of music, I find that I have waxing electronic as of late but find myself listening to jazz, alt rock, hip hop, rap and may other styles randomly.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in Valley forge national park recently and found this tree that was awe inspiring. It stretched its arms far and wide and was beautiful in its scale and complexity.

Also hiking on glaciers in Iceland was pretty amazing, but man that tree...

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach - I really enjoy teaching people of a different way to look at the world. Engineering has always given me a different viewpoint on how the world operates and why it is the way it is and how we can all fix it, I love sharing that knowledge! I am also fairly handy and love teaching people to more self reliant!

Learn - I want to shorten the list of things I haven't done yet. I also love learning new philosophies and ideas. I would really enjoy grabbing a drink, sitting down and getting to know someone.

Share I love to share this collective experience called life. Getting together and exploring the great outdoors and sharing in experiences new and familiar with people I enjoy!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A private room to rest and relax, an amazing view of the CC skyline, a great kitchen to cook good meals in, many close places to enjoy great beers in, and hopefully a good long list of excellent stuff to do!
