CURRENT MISSION

mens sana in corpore sano

ABOUT ME

I recently came to the realization that I lost who I was at some point after leaving university. Now I'm trying my best to get my priorities back in order.

PHILOSOPHY

About a week ago, I thought I knew. Now I'm pretty sure I don't. I've realized that I don't particularly care about money, or professional success. Experiences are what matter.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:
I mostly watch documentaries. I also like most horror movies, psychological thrillers, and anything visually interesting (The Fall, Inception, etc) and movies that don't follow straightforward plots (Donnie Darko, Jacob's Ladder). Also anything super campy.

Music:
Arctic Monkeys, Augustana, Beck, The Black Keys, Boy and Bear, Built To Spill, The Dandy Warhols, The Decemberists, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Franz Ferdinand, The Mars Volta, Modest Mouse, Muse, Neon Trees, OK Go, Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Strokes, Wilco. Lots of random other stuff.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I've got a M.S. in Geology, so if you wanna learn about rocks (or general natural science stuff) I'm your guy. I've also got a working knowledge of rock climbing/mountaineering gear, knots, techniques, etc. I tend to be full of random, interesting (according to me, at least) and fairly useless factoids.
