CURRENT MISSION

To do what I haven't done, meet who I haven't met, be where I haven't been.

ABOUT ME

I once wrote a poem a day for a month.

PHILOSOPHY

My parents like to emphasize that I'm a lifelong learner, sometimes as if it's a fault. I approach my days with as complex a mixture of rigorous intellectual scrutiny and freeform playful abandon as I can manage.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope to share as much as I can through CouchSurfing. I'm joining because I'm about to set off on some international adventures, but I plan to be a haven and a resource for CS travelers who come through Seattle or wherever I may be living.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm excited to venture out and meet other CouchSurfers. I'm a newbie.

Music, Movies, and Books

Eclectic in all areas of my life, including these. I love anime, economics, 60s Bollywood soundtracks, ancient religious texts, films about personal struggle. Chances are we'll have some interest in common, and if not I'll be eager to hear about anything new.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I held my sister's head while she gave birth.

Teach, Learn, Share

Foremost I enjoy listening, and think I can offer help in thinking through tough decisions. I can teach basic juggling skills. I'm great at giving writing feedback and guiding people through composing official documents. I can lead shadowjams--intimate group sessions of music, art, and performance centering around light and shadows.
