CURRENT MISSION

pursuing the unfamiliar

ABOUT ME

Drawn to instability. Fascinated by unsettled and incomplete things, situations, people, and countries. Otherwise pretty laid back and quite cheerful.

PHILOSOPHY

Stumbling is better than running

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Haven't had the pleasure of hosting yet, but would love to when I get the chance! I think the idea of sheltering nomadic strangers absolutely inspired. At the moment, though, I am limited to enjoying the hospitality of others. That will soon change.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Haven't yet had any, but fully anticipate good ones, if reports on this website are true.

Interests

Alien and unfamiliar mentalities, literature, the surface of the earth, mountains, deserts, countries in upheaval, societies in flux, individuals in flux, things that are ancient, novelty, and of course, wandering rather aimlessly, without direction and without object, over the face of this planet.

• literature
• running
• mountains

Music, Movies, and Books

Bowles, Conrad, Naipaul, Fowles, Dostoyevsky, Flaubert, Kaufmann, Murakami, Kafka, Fitzgerald, amongst many others.....any kind of music except rap or heavy metal.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived by my wits in the dusty, dirty, tropics for several years. Came home. Didn't stay.
