Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have hosted a few yokels when living in a house of 13 dudes (in 5 bedrooms, woof!).

Interests

I find great interest in American Imperial History and Foreign Policy, and read about this quite a lot. I enjoy sport climbing and bouldering, swimming, boating, cycling, home-brewing, fermenting cabbage, I love hand-writing letters and drinking Americanos, anything else aristocratic.

I love hosting other people, cooking for them, endeavoring to make them feel comfortable.

I do cut a rug once in a while, and relish it.

Music, Movies, and Books

(a few good/recently-read) Books: "Ain't My America" by Bill Kauffman. This guy's on point and has the lexicon of a demigod.

"The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair. Artful muckraking.

"No Treason" by Lysander Spooner. 1860s anarchist pamphlets. A 'must' for all you libertarians!

Music: BILL CALLAHAN!, et al.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first grasshopper of spring.

A rainbow halo-ed moon.

I am an idea-man: I enjoy getting my head blown to bits by anthropology, philosophy, metaphysics, and history.
