CURRENT MISSION

To invent a new job for myself.

ABOUT ME

I'm an easygoing philosopher type. I'm sort of a minimalist that likes to think big.
I like to play in the intersection between things. So I teach philosophy, draw, write, explore, take photos, do performance art, and am a Feldenkrais Practioner, all in some crazy combination.

PHILOSOPHY

That's a tough one since I'm a professional philosopher. I guess personally, I think the world is a fascinating place, and I enjoy finding new ways of engaging with it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted once before, and now that the chaos of my dissertation is done, I'm looking forward to hosting more.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just had a great experience surfing in Paris. I went to a couchsurfing party while I was there, which was good fun, and met some great folks.
Holler if you are passing through New York.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the Day of the Dead celebration in a little fishing village on an island in Mexico was so beautiful.
I particularly remember another night in Buenos Aires, in which we were led through an unmarked door on some back street, wound down a cooridor and then popped out in an abandoned cathedral, where I danced Tango for the first time. Stunning!
I'm also a bit in awe of what I'm about to do: crossing from one side of Paris to the other completely underground... (Edit: just finished it! It was amazing!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love trying to pick up languages from people, and hearing about different experiences.
I can juggle, and teach you how too. I'm also a Feldenkrais Practitioner, which is a kind of movement education, and it's always fun to give a session while I'm on the road!
I also can teach even the most fearful how to draw! (aestheticrelationalexercises.com)
