CURRENT MISSION

summer in vienna! currently very interested in classical piano and playing some Schnapsen.

ABOUT ME

I spend a lot of time reading and writing, so lets go for a walk and talk about art. Over the years I've lived in a few different places in the US, as well as France, New Zealand, Mexico, and Germany, with lots of nice road trips in between. Mostly I read and write about poetry, though I do a lot of biking (motor and non-motor). I like meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY

It takes one minute to compose a minute's worth of jazz. no being, only becoming.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

tourguide, cooker, eater, bringer of positive energy, lots of talking about art, philosophy, history, and ideas

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i've done a lot of couchsurfing over the years and hosted many people on many different couches. despite the few negative experiences, in general it has been overwhelmingly positive. In recent years I've been moving around a lot, so I'm always grateful for the people who help make it possible for me and I'm happy to return the favor when I can.
