CURRENT MISSION to make life long friendships and be a good friend ABOUT ME Im an American exploring life and trying to make sense of existence. Im an absurdist, a non-dualistic thinker and a Taoist in the tradition of Alan Watts at heart but I see no contradiction in proactivity. I am greatly suspicious of radical individualism, the positive psychology movement and most of the memes that psychotherapy has passed down to the global culture. I strongly support the natural sciences but believe life isnt worth living without poetic license. I want to blow the word away with radical new performance art. PHILOSOPHY Ataraxia, Arete, Hedone

我为什么使用Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I host whenever and wherever I am able. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I have had hippies, street kids, vagrants, freight riders, backpackers, holy men and gangstas stay with us before. We love exotic company. I've been hosted and I've hosted a bunch of times. I have hiked portions of the Appalachian trail and I've slept on the floor of the Geneva metro system, so I am quite acclimated to rough sleeping/living.
