CURRENT MISSION

I believe in living your politics and not taking life too seriously.

ABOUT ME

I support local artists, I wear sensible shoes, and I easily make new friends, but more often than not I can be found behind a book.

PHILOSOPHY

"I am not an -ism, I'm just trying to be a decent human being from womb to tomb." - Cornel West

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

You could sum up my feelings as of late in the song All My Rowdy Friends Have Settled Down by Hank Williams Jr. (Elliot Smith does a nice cover of it.) However, I still have the tendency to wander, and am an avid backpacker; I have traveled many places and met some wonderful people along the way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When travelling I've done the whole hostel thing. But at the urging of friends, I've decided to give the Couchsurfing community a try. I have hosted with CS in the past.
