CURRENT MISSION

in order to accept and submit to the will of the world we must have true freedom of thought and action. release yourself from the need to control.

ABOUT ME

the winds of chaos speak to us all, travelling teaches how to sing without lyrics; the result is acceptance of the whims of existence.

PHILOSOPHY

Make the struggle of an absurd existence your own; in this embrace one is able to create meaning for their life.

I suppose i should thank Camus for most of that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

ive hosted a handful of people, met many others, and now travelling europe hope to have the favor returned.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When i lived in New Orleans i hosted a handful of people and i loved showing that great city to other travellers. Since moving to Iceland i have been unable to host (tiny dorm situation...)

I have had the great fortune of couchsurfing in a dozen and a half countries and meeting truly amazing people. Even when i am not crashing on a couch, it is a great way to meet locals and get a chance at experiencing a city in the real way.

Interests

Philosophy, anthropology, good single malt scotch, music, theatre, arts and literature. Whatever else is real and offers opportunities for excitement or intellectual stimulation.
