CURRENT MISSION

To read every book...EVER!

ABOUT ME

"Until then I had thought each book spoke of things, human or divine, that lie outside books. Now I realized that not infrequently books speak of other books: it is as if they spoke among themselves. In the light of this reflection, the library seemed all the more disturbing to me. It was then the place of a long, centuries-old murmuring, an imperceptible dialogue between one parchment and another, a living thing, a receptacle of powers not to be ruled by a human mind" --Umberto Eco, The Name of the Rose

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Traveling, crashing on sofas and in dirty festival fields.... And offering up my scuzzy couch for zzzzzzzs

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met some random Germans on the train up to Bodo, above the Arctic circle in Norway. Went fishing with them in the clearest, most beautiful water the human mind can possibly fathom. They didn't speak English, and I certainly don't know a word of German, but you don't really need to say that much when the trees smell so good.
