CURRENT MISSION

All phasers set to go!

ABOUT ME

Tacky, awkward, and fairly colorful.

PHILOSOPHY

It all generally works out for the best, so why worry too much about the details?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Official n00b, unofficially I've hosted surfers in my flat in Amsterdam and friends in my apartments in Ithaca. Always welcome to sharing my space with others who need it.

Interests

Into sustainable urbanism. My ultimate goal is to work on transferring Dutch planning's best practices to the US South. Also into computer games, a bit of yoga, kickboxing, and playing with my food.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a trip to Barcelona with some friends in May of 2009. When I boarded the plane in Koln, I had 100Euro, no place to stay, and no way to get more funds. With a little bit of luck (and some help from some very nice folks who put up with my terrible Spanish), I made it just fine, and with a tan!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to learn basic welding and metalworking skills. Don't have much to teach, aside from library classification systems :P But if you need your books organized, I'm your man.
