ABOUT ME

Hello! I'm a writer and teacher living in ... Moscow! This is a newish thing.
The caption asks for "all about you"- for now, that will do.

PHILOSOPHY

I'll just say don't panic, and leave it at that.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participated in couchsurfing when I lived in London for six years until 2010, and hosted many couchsurfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've travelled a lot, and stay with friends or in hotels depending on where I am. I've also subletted many flats and let out my flat to people.

Interessen

Books, songs, dancing to both. Hiking, the wilderness,
though I don't see much of that nowadays in my urban suburban house. Mountain vistas, charged colors and old ports.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Music: mostly three minute ditties by now elderly men.
Movies: things in black and white about French ports, Jewish comedies, unscary monster movies.
Books: biking guides. Melville footnotes. Book jackets for my short attention span. Malamud.
Paintings: see movies. That green Chagall painting, carefully rendered ink portraits created by compulsives, Goya's horrors.
