CURRENT MISSION

Building community

ABOUT ME

I enjoy wandering, sometimes too much. For now I'm unstuck, like so many of you. I work a wide variety of jobs in strange locations, and fraternize with anyone who comes my way. I'm pretty grounded, fiercely idealistic, and I laugh at just about everything, though I don't talk much.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Helping people get where they're going.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Resoundingly positive all around - complements the traveling community very well.

Interests

Finding creative ways to survive, languages, chaos, obstacles, surprises, absurdity...

• traveling
• languages

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many to name really. I haven't encountered a musical genre I didn't like, and I love film. I'm classically educated, so my literary interests tend towards the academic, though I do read pretty much everything (except mystery novels).

Rumi and Bach come with me everywhere...
