Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To jump off the cliff and build my wings on the way down.
PHILOSOPHY
In the fog you walk slowly, you have to know the way if you don't want to get lost; but you always, somehow, arrive somewhere.
~Umberto Eco, "The Miracle of San Baudolino"
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've surfed around a good portion of the country, and a little around the world. When I can't travel myself, I do enjoy grabbing a beer or a cup of tea with those who can.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE:
Across America, in Paris for a couple nights, in London for a night, also Austria.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Wolf/bear tracking in the Carpathian Mountains.
