CURRENT MISSION

Either figuring it out or not figuring it out.

ABOUT ME

I like to hear people's lifestories and put them into the context of my own life. I write and make music and collect little trinkets off the ground. I hitchhike to get places. I am going to the University of Virginia in fall to get my MFA in poetry. I am also a musician and a cartoonist. Mostly I like to laugh at everything I can possibly find funny.

PHILOSOPHY

The more I think I know, the less I actually know.

I love Socrates and Plato.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have couchsurfed several times around the United States and I have hosted couchsurfers but never off of this website. I will have a residence in Charlottesville, VA starting this fall and will be hosting then.
