About Me

CURRENT MISSION

get out of town!

ABOUT ME

I was in Oakland California yesterday and will be elsewhere soon.

PHILOSOPHY

I cannot stand personality tests. I think that a fun question to ask a group of people is whether they would rather be a member of the opposite gender or an animal. (like octopus). I hope that I die old and crazy and fully depleted of anything useful and confuse my grandchildren alot. I am religious, but not always very good at it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing was basically what got me through every great experience wandering through the balkans and further. There was a tent village in a serbian fortress to shepherding in austrian alps to missing my trains for all the best of many reasons many days in a row.

Interests

Coffee; Boxing; Libraries; Motorcycles; my grandpa's opera collection; stupid animals. Truancy and meandering. I have no diet restrictions or expectations. Except spicy things. I want more of them. Also, I would be so pleased to cook for you.
