About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding places and people to write about

ABOUT ME

I'm curious by nature. I have an addictive tendencies, and often obsess over new interests intensely for a short while.

I look for inspiration for my writing and photography in all kinds of places, and tend to find muses in the unlikeliest of locations.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a vocal advocate of post-irony. I prefer to wear my heart on my sleeve, and believe a little emotional transparency goes a long way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been a host, but have yet to surf a couch. I'm looking to make new friends in new places.

Interests

I enjoy reading, going to shows, lurking about at the MoMA, playing softball, riding my bicycle, watching films, talking about films, listening to music, talking about music, the occasional spliff, gadgets and other computer-related nerd stuff, taking photographs, writing.
