CURRENT MISSION

Rescue me from level headedness and the unnescessary luxury of the being calm.

ABOUT ME

Educator (aka mentor/artist-in-residence/lackey) and grad student. Enthusiast of the odd ; champion of the strange.

Secondary Media, Visual Arts and Ancient Studies teacher and graduate student studying clinical counselling and psychotherapy. I enjoy art, books, music, social/environmental issues and politics... basically anything and everything!

I enjoy meeting and talking with interesting new people, going for walks and sharing/cooking meals. I would like to think that my wild party days are behind me but, really...anything is possible isn't it?

PHILOSOPHY

"The poet, the artist, the sleuth - whoever sharpens our perception tends to be antisocial; rarely “well-adjusted”, he cannot go along with currents and trends. A strange bond often exists between antisocial types in their power to see environments as they really are.”

- Marshall McLuhan & Quentin Fiore, The Medium is the Massage

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

You get to meet those you wouldn't normally in your regular day to day — creating relationships with people you might never meet otherwise. I find the whole experience amazing.

Interests

Pretty coffee table books, pseudo science, nonfiction, dancing, staying up late, fighting crime, photography, typography, history and old dusty objects...and eating.
