ABOUT ME

I will be hopping back and forth between Venice and Los Angeles this upcoming year, and have a new daughter, so it's unlikely I'll be able to offer a couch anytime soon. But feel free to ask for Venice advice.

PHILOSOPHY

Philosophy in action is the only thing worthwhile.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

entirely too many good books to list: from Stienbeck to Mistry to Calvino. Too much good music to list, ranging from Lucinda Williams to Smokey and Miho to Jawbox.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The birth of my daughter. Sunrise on the Great Wall waking me up. The campanille of San Marco above the mist. Whales by my side in a bay of Baja. Swimming naked with friends in the moonlit Pacific.
