CURRENT MISSION

To travel the globe on a shoestring.....help?

ABOUT ME

I'd love to meet folks far and wide to have adventures with and experience this little amount of time we get on the earth to the fullest. I currently live in San Francisco/Berkeley and really, really need to escape the grad school doldrums.

PHILOSOPHY

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will gladly, gladly show folks around the bay area. Unfortunately, my roommate situation will not allow for couch surfers but i'll definitely give tours of SF!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not much on couch surfing, although I spent about 6 years traveling for work, mainly for non-gov. orgz.
