CURRENT MISSION

Greenvillin'.

ABOUT ME

I like the big wide world but I also dig small-town life on a bike. Will eat pretty much anything. Unfortunately, I might also brag about it. Working on humility.

PHILOSOPHY

Avoid bottled mayonnaise.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Will have a beer with any CSer passing through Greenville. Interested in sharing stories; promise not to steal yours and pass them off as my own. Unless they're really, really good.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I ended up at a cosmonaut party in Atlanta. Dippin' dots will never be the same.

兴趣

18th-century English and European literature and culture; hiking, canoeing, camping, downhill & cross-country skiing; environmental issues (as if there's anything that isn't an environmental issue); old bicycles; the ineffable horror of Virginia politics; cooking and eating good food of all kinds, with a funny little fetish for Hungarian.

音乐、电影和书籍

Movies: Wes Anderson, Werner Herzog, RUBIN & ED.

Music: I grew up as a serious indie-rock geek, now branching out all over the place. Got a thing for Albert Ayler, but still carrying a torch for the Mountain Goats. I usually buy vinyl at thrift stores, which lately has gotten me into both '50s calypso and Ozzy Osbourne. And I like the cars -- the cars that go boom.

Books: Tristram Shandy!!! James Boswell's Journals!!! Robinson Crusoe!!! Rousseau's Confessions!!! See a pattern???

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Scuba diving in Bonaire, circa 1984. No one's going to see reefs like that ever again.

教，学，和分享
