ABOUT ME

Northern California was my home for the first 23 years of my life and now I'm living in Berlin, DE, trying to do some writing (despite what my occupation may suggest, I actually consider myself a playwright, though money has yet to be made) and enjoy this great city of Kraut, in spite of the notorious Berliner Schnauze...

PHILOSOPHY

it's better to eat burritos than discuss philosophy with non-philosophy majors

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My girlfriend and I have a couch and you can sleep here. Unfortunately, there are some time restrictions since we'll be having friends visit for the next couple of months (mid Sept 2007 - late Oct 2007), but there may always be the extra floor space in this sardine can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've woken up in strange places, some of them I have visited willingly, some of them, I can only assume that at some point I made the decision to go there, willingly. Other than that, just your average sleeping over at friends of friends etc.
