CURRENT MISSION

I do things with words.

ABOUT ME

In a typical day, I spend about an hour doing yoga, an hour walking, an hour commuting via bicycle or subway, two hours reading, and five hours in front of a laptop.

PHILOSOPHY

Die knowing something. You are not here long.
-Walker Evans

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have offered my couch to people visiting Buenos Aires when I lived there in 2007. I also frequently gave advice to people who e-mailed me even if I couldn't host them. I have used CouchSurfing many times to find people to stay with when I am backpacking.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Cuba was by far the best CS experience I've ever had.

Teach, Learn, Share

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter." -Dr. Seuss

"No drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power."
-P.J. O'Rourke
