About Me

Laugh cheaply, talk openly, give freely, drink gladly. Can be induced to play an accordion, do integral calculus and write silly poetry. Always prepared to discuss vital or trivial things, and (ex)change opinions. Hobbies include photography, writing, history and bananas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've hosted and been hosted and look forward to more of the same.

Interests

Changing my mind is the most interesting thing I do. Happens less and less as I get older, but the more valuable when it does! Try helping me. In between I feel a compulsion to do something about Bad Things, and a strong urge to read good books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Completely melted together with the fabric of the universe, only to wake up in between not knowing if I was moving my own fingers or someone else's.

Teach, Learn, Share

Basic knowledge of quantum and relativistic physics and philosophy, wide interests, deep-seated and relatively well informed hatred of the US government. A cloud nerd. Have superficial knowledge of human history (as do we all).
