CURRENT MISSION

To see as many cities in gritty detail as I can by knowing locals and radically altering my self-concept in the process

ABOUT ME

I'm a fairly politically engaged guy, self-identify as queer, involved in various anti-racist and socialist projects in Toronto. Have travelled a little bit, but want more depth to my understanding of the earth's current moment. Love to talk history, but won't bore you with academic blather. People are one of my main fascinations - so many dimensions to them and the places they've been.

PHILOSOPHY

Hopeful cynicism

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None formally (through the website), but can't count the amount of couches I've stayed on by meeting people in new cities and having them take me in.
