CURRENT MISSION

Maybe that's what life is...a wink of the eye and winking stars.

ABOUT ME

I love sleeping on trains, hiking the Himalayas, stretching my soul. Dirt under my fingernails, back broken, wide-eyed and loving life.
I can do anything and I want you to do it with me.
I want to grow gray on Mount Everest. Fall in love in Laos. Raise a dirty, gritty family on African farmland.
I want to be real, raw, stripped and exposed-- smiling the whole time.
I am a sucker for a good smile, the kind you see in crinkles of the eyes, the kind you feel in the fast flutter of a heartbeat.
I am a sucker for simplicity, for black-mouth sarcasm in seedy cafes and bleeding heart lovers staring at the stars.
Every night I search the sky for Orion, his belt and his sword. I smell like a sofa, I talk to animals and I adore playing with Russian red lipstick.
I like smoking cloves out of cigarette holders, pretending to be a Soviet spy.
I dream of being a card shark and one person's everything.

PHILOSOPHY

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Man, CS rocks my world.

Interests

Things I can't handle: cockroaches, gum chewing, foam hangers, dark rooms and sad songs.
Things I love to handle: laying in grave yards, being barefoot, hours on buses, dancing like a dickhead, side saddling scooters, riding in tuk-tuks and writing in sand.
