I'm a seller of used books and antique ephemera. I write songs and carve spoons and write poems and stories and read a lot. I appreciate slow travel, slow food, honest and in depth communication and relationship. I like real things. I don't like imitation.

I'm very concerned about the future of the planet and I'm interested in participating in a community that values nature and sustainability.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My brother, my buddy Nick and I are traveling through Europe working on farms and playing our songs!

Music, Movies, and Books

Every morning upon finishing breakfast I carry my mug of coffee out to my fire escape where I spend the next two hours (or as much as I can get) immersed in some novel or another. Recently: Sons and Lovers, Steppenwolf, Colum Mccann, Steinbeck, Murakami, Fowles, Dickens etc.
Much non-fiction too.

I love Woody Allen's movies (especially from the late 70's and late 80's) and others.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am happy to share some songs with you. I write songs on acoustic guitar and clawhammer banjo.
I love to talk about life, psychology, religion.
I want to hear your strangest stories and most deeply-held beliefs.
I will discuss your dreams with you. I can't promise interpretation, but you'll have an interested ear.
I want to learn about your culture and countrymen.

Countries I’ve Visited
