CURRENT MISSION

To be thoroughly globalized

ABOUT ME

Interestingly, I just moved half way around the world to work in a city and live in a country where I cannot do most of the things that I love. That said - I am having fun and experiencing a lot. I moved to Jeddah to begin my international teaching career at the American school. I have been a teacher for nine years both at the university and secondary level. I look forward to traveling during extended breaks and long weekends. Who knows? I could be on your couch. And don't worry I know proper etiquette; I will pay for all the drinks and dinners.

PHILOSOPHY

To keep it real.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I donate money and attend gathering when possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I just returned from Istanbul where my couch surfing experience was amazing. I met many great friends with whom I hope hope to keep in touch.

Interests

Foreign languages, European football, global politics, French and German philosophy with a heavy dose of deconstruction and a touch of postmodern theology, progressive politics, Mark Rothko and fine scotch.

Music, Movies, and Books

French new wave, New German Cinema, Sonic Youth, Spiritualized, Iggy Pop, Bowie, Brian Eno, T-Rex, Roxy Music, Krautrock, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, contemporary poetry, documentary films, The Brothers Karamazov, and Primal Scream. I am currently reading The Children's Book by AS Byatt, and as I type this I am listening to Ladytron and drinking tea as opposed to coffee which is what I usually drink.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once won a miracle ticket to see Radiohead and Spiritualized together for the OK Computer tour.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to love angular beats and atonal soundscapes.
I want to learn Arabic.
I want to share a donut. But I won't share my coffee.

Canada, Germany, Italy, Spain

Countries I’ve Lived In

Saudi Arabia, United States
