CURRENT MISSION

stories and adventures!

ABOUT ME

I write novels and spend way too much time daydreaming. I go on a lot of walks (and especially on unfamiliar streets) and people watch. I like anything that is new and exciting.

PHILOSOPHY

say yes to everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm awaiting one from couchsurfing.com

but previously, I've stayed at the house of an intellectual transvestite my friend's only met once at a rave, having absurd conversations all through the morning in San Francisco. I've met a near foreign-boy (from new york but went to school in the uk) and his best friend, cartoon characters with too much wit to be real, not sleeping and making impromptu art in my dorm room and closet. Had a weekend indiepop experience seeing one of my favorite bands in Santa Barbara, staying with an internet friend who loved it just as much as I did, hosted punk freight train hopping traveler kids at my apartment, took them to times square and exchanged the most marvelous stories...
