ABOUT ME

Recently re-located to Seattle for graduate school and west coast living via Toronto. Recovering from a few years of fixing wealthier peoples' houses and growing vegetables here and there. Now, I'm trying not to over-think it and enjoy my present. Generally trying to live the dream.

Also, I hit several people because I'm not so into the male/female split a-roo CS seems to be intent on, dig? (They/them pronouns si vous plait).

PHILOSOPHY

This is perhaps the most metaphysically draining question asked by the couchsurfing profile oracle. I'm going to defer. Interpret as you well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Open my abode to surfers, show new people around my stomping grounds!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted a bunch whist living in various Ontario cities. Have surfed in other places as well on quick visits.

Interests

Farming (of the organic nature, but up to shoot the proverbial shit about anything related in this category), cities/urban geography, cooking up a storm in my apartment, learning, music and concert going (when the funds are there), art of public/street species, talk radio

Music, Movies, and Books

Way too many. but recently:

My team looks like this: David Foster Wallace drives down the court, kicks it over to Roberto Bolano, who bangs it back to Henry Miller who jukes and passes to Anais Nin who dishes to Susan Sontag for the dunk. Stephen Dunn, Raymond Carver, Rilke and Rimbaud are ready on the sidelines, prepping for the night game.

Sonically I tend to be bit all over the place. Not in a shitty itunes way. More of a dependent on the weather and indulging my moods

Cinematically; Europa, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, French Connection, Holy Motors. And a good serial killer documentary.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being on a 1980s Greek cruise liner with from Taniger to Barcelona for over 24 hours. So many mini-narratives to that.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: gardening, muay thai, bike repair (with the requisite swearing throughout), beer brewing, fixing random things (dry walling, tiling and other bougie repairs)

Learn: wine/hard alcohol brews/distills, new perspectives

Share: my passion for never letting anything in my refrigerator go bad. Double edged sword friends.
