CURRENT MISSION

Be good. See good and bad. Explore. Gain stories worth telling.

ABOUT ME

I love novelty, but not cheap novelty. I hate tour groups, but love local history over beers. Travel, writing and conversation are my life's greatest pleasures.

PHILOSOPHY

Be good. Taking life seriously requires understanding that many common things are really very silly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Not nearly as well as I should. I'd like to make amends soon.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Never been couchsurfing in this way myself, though I've crashed on friends of friends couches with friends on many a weary road trip. I've hosted some couchsurfers in Burlington, VT and showed em a good time, many beers were had... All good folks.

Interests

Writing. Friendly arguments. Hiking. Unlocking the secrets of the cosmos through science and spirituality and other silly pursuits.

Music, Movies, and Books

Children of Men. Wilco, Spoon and who on earth doesn't like The Beatles? Electronica, Indy rock, good ol' fashioned rock, and folk make a pretty good showing. Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, 100 Years of Solitude, The Sun Also Rises.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once rode a failing motorcycle by myself out into the Cambodian hinterland through knee-high mud deeper and deeper into the unknown.
