CURRENT MISSION

To see parts of the world yet unseen in 23 years, and to meet wonderfully interesting people along the way. I'm looking to see your city and to experience how you live.

ABOUT ME

I love to read, write, and take photographs. Without a steady flow of this trinity, I feel anxious and then re-realizes all over again that I need to write some things down to feel sane again. Sometimes this involves writing about this very strange urge to document, and wondering why aesthetic capturings of experience seem so fundamentally important.

PHILOSOPHY

1) Live to the fullest – do everything you want to do, try anything that peaks your interest
2) Leave the party when it’s still good (as long as it doesn't interfere with #1)
3) Be kind
4) Make art

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a newbie, but plan to take part in the CS Project by connecting with people around the world, those who will have me, and later by offering my couch to similarly-minded wanderers. If I'm lucky enough to stay with you, I offer my insights and desire to explore in exchange for yours.
