About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to live a life

ABOUT ME

I was born with a mustache and an innate understanding of how futile the world is. I have spent twenty two years fearing my own death (for the last three I've just been afraid of swallowing a fish bone).

The following comprises the embarrassingly short list of my accomplishments.

* Graduated from high school as a certified Junior Culinarian

* Proud(?) survivor of the state of Ohio

* Went to vocational school for Culinary Arts during my last two years of high school

* Loves most edible things

* Loves some non-edible things

I really don't know what else to say.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a bit of an unwilling existentialist

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Through CS I've learned that what makes the best places the best places are the people there and not the geography. It's the least I can do to contribute to the atmosphere of my favorite places by being a positive influence in any way I can.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rode a bicycle to New Orleans from Ohio.

Moved to Berlin with surprisingly little notice.

Tricked into a brothel with a mermaid theme.

Visited a Loch Ness with no monster.

Seen the mountains of Glencoe.

Teach, Learn, Share

I run a donation-only acting studio in Berlin. Visit me if you like: wycacting.com

I'm an intermediate calisthenics student and I love sharing knowledge, learning new patterns, and training with folks.

I can ride a unicycle, walk on stilts and juggle three round things of your choice.

I know IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet).

Trained in Alba Emoting, Meisner, Viewpoints, Suzuki and Chekhov.

Managed a bakery in high school because no one else would.

I like cooking with others but rarely for myself.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Knowledge and coaching: movement, acting/behavioral tricks, revenue strategy (oddly enough).

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Austria, Canada, Germany, Greece, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

Canada, Germany, United States
