CURRENT MISSION

Gathering tales, hunting the interesting, exploring the space in between.

ABOUT ME

I've been on the road for a few years now, no plan, following the wind, seeking out interesting ways to spend my time. My friends say I'm busy accumulating scraps, images, stories, and at some point I'll be full; I argue that I'm a bottomless pit. When I work, it's on animated movies as a supervisor; dancing penguins, that kind of thing.

PHILOSOPHY

If it makes you happy and doesn't cause harm, do it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm traveling so can only surf and meet. If I ever have a couch, it'll be surfable.

Interests

Feed me unusual things, I'll eat anything once, usually twice. I know how to point a camera at things, what end of a pen to hold, and live in hiking boots. I'm often found staring at the confluence of mountains and clouds, I can do that all day.
