ABOUT ME

Always eager for deep conversation; (relatively!) adventurous; funny and easy going when it counts.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Last summer me and three friends used CS on a road trip from LA to Durham, NC. We found it invaluable and now I'm returning the favor.

兴趣

Keeping in touch with old friends and making news ones. Watching movies I love. Eating well. Running. Reading (novels, philosophy), writing (both) and thinking (about politics, art, music, film) basically all the time.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Wading in a sun-heated dam pool at midnight, in Clanwilliam, South Africa, full moon and millions of stars above, having just seen caves full of paleolithic clay paintings.

Driving to Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty in the salt flats of Utah, two hours off the highway. Standing at one end of the Jetty while my best friend stood at the other, it turns out, almost a mile away. We had a completely intelligible conversation.
