Overview
About Me
Some love mankind
But shy from individuals,
And others accumulate friends
While professing dislike
For the great mass of humanity;
Let us walk the middle path.
~Japanese poem
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Perspective! ... I harvest weird stories.
Interests
Indigenous cultures, mountains, budget travel, vagabonding, genocides that nobody even knows about (and the poetry that comes out of them), Slavoj Zizek, unusual movies that give you a headache, academia and anti-academia, Carl Jung, William Burroughs, The Beats, Indonesia, Dayak, Kalimantan, Papua, mythology, religious ideas out of context, horrific facts about how racist white people are -- including climate change. But nature is better.
