CURRENT MISSION

I really, really have no idea

ABOUT ME

I generally drift along, letting time and life push me where they may. As a result, I've probably spent more time than I should reading and watching and playing. We're going to see about changing that, but I really do love reading.

PHILOSOPHY

"When [learning] is added to natural talent, it makes men perfect and almost divine." Ricordi 47, Guicciardini

"A superior intellect is bestowed upon men only to make them unhappy and tormented." Ricordi 60 Guicciardini

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment, I don't have a couch (unfortunately), but once I get one I'd be happy to host. For now, I hope to be able to surf my way 'round Europe.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well, I sort of surfed in my friend's attic and will be for the next few months. Other than that, I've not yet surfed a couch. I've also hosted the friend of a friend once and stayed with a delightful couple in Switzerland.

教，学，和分享

There isn't much I can teach that's unique and special - maybe how to make a real Maryland crabcake, to eat steamed crabs, and to talk with a "Bawmoor" accent (for all "The Wire" fans).
