CURRENT MISSION

back in the U.$.. too broke to travel

ABOUT ME

i really hate talking about myself. i am too modest to describe how super awesome i am.. i love reading (psychology, sociology, philosophy history, fiction, etc); writing (mostly short stories); playing loud, political, and uncompromising punk rock; trying new things. drinking good beer/ whiskey and eating delicious vegan goodies. there's more but it's more rewarding to learn about others through real human interaction.

PHILOSOPHY

so many quotes; "it's not my revolution if i can't dance", "from each according to imagination, to each according to desire", "the working class and employing class have nothing in common", "in the beginning the universe was created. this has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.", "ever get the feeling you've been cheated", "cogito, ergo sum"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I now have my own apartment. I can take on people depending on my massive work load. Even if I am too busy I will always have time for a good pint and conversations.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

random squats and dirty punk rock houses up and down the east coast and as far west as the mississippi.. there was a huge, high-rise squat in philly. woke up the next morning a bit disoriented. found my friends by screaming journey songs to the dismay of my hungover floormates.

Interests

again, not really into writing about myself. i love learning/ teaching, art, coffee, ideas and people striving for social change. if i remember i may include more later, so enjoy the morsel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

too many to name. people either do not believe me or may be a bit scared off. but i've seen/ done many things people believe do not exist. i think surviving 8 years of bush is amazing in itself.

Teach, Learn, Share

i like learning anything new. eventually i'd like to become more self sufficient.
