My dad dated St. Vincent's mom and if I meet you I will tell you that story! But really I'm a pretty good guy and I love meeting people and interviewing them about their dreams. I'm all about love and the music of community, about encountering souls--the soul of the land and the soul of the people and the soul of the great future!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling should be an opportunity to form community, not just to have isolated and fabricated experiences on your own. There are more than enough empty beds for heads to lay on ya know for heads seeking empty beds. There's more than enough life and joy for everybody--we need to start sharing! Excited to meet some rad folks and make sleep noises on their couches, as well as to contribute what I can to this awesome network of beautiful encounters

Music, Movies, and Books

In terms of books, I just finished Zadie Smith's White Teeth, Shane Claiborn's The Irresistible Revolution, and Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States. In terms of music, the last three songs I've listened to were "On and Ever Onward" by Bjork and the Dirty Projectors, "With Arms Outstretched" by Rilo Kiley, and (classic!) "Paper Planes" by M.I.A. The last three movies I've watched were Finding Dory, Medicine for Melancholy, and 5 Broken Cameras.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was Marilyn Monroe in a play and I looked beautiful!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will draw my hosts and give them the drawing with a tiny poem in their nose! I will buy them a snack! I will make them tofu scramble in the morning! I will interview them in made-up languages! But really I would love to have conversations with you about anything, mumble songs to you as well fall asleep, cook you anything, do some chores to do my part as a guest of the house, and tell you that story about my dad dating St. Vincent's mom!
