i also really like turtles. we have a lot in common.

in one hundred years it will be all new people. lets do the damn thing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

well... its a really big operation. you kind of have to see it. there are flowers and a lot of charismatic stoner rants. every once in a while i help people think they can change things.

Interests

cutting all of the extra garbage out of life. don't need it.

  • flowers
  • camping
  • tourism

Music, Movies, and Books

i like windchimes, banjos, and angry girls singing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

made it through a concentration camp with my humanity in tact. coming back to a country that doesn't care about the things that were locked in my head and slowly and persistently forcing society to see what i saw. i recently had an article published in esquire magazine about gitmo. it feels good to remind people that there are others suffering. i love raining on parades.

Teach, Learn, Share

i was a prison guard in guantanamo bay, cuba. if you want to know about that, the military, gi resistance, or the many philosophies that guide it, i'd be more than happy to share what i have to offer.
