CURRENT MISSION

...having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world.

ABOUT ME

I am currently studying Spanish at the University of Oviedo and teaching in my spare time. In my spare, spare time, I read, write, and spend time with my girlfriend. Watching movies, hanging out, hiking and doing active things when we can, you know, stuff.

PHILOSOPHY

From Moby-Dick: “For, d’ye see, rainbows do not visit the clear air; they only irradiate vapor. And so, through all the thick mists of the dim doubts in my mind, divine intuitions now and then shoot, enkindling my fog with a heavenly ray. And for this I thank God; for all have doubts; many deny; but doubts or denials, few along with them, have intuitions of some things. Doubts of all things earthly, and intuitions of some things heavenly; this combination makes neither believer nor infidel, but makes a man who regards them both with equal eye.”

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to this. I have heard many positive things about CouchSurfing and I am excited to embark on this new journey. I am learning the ropes and finding out what ways I can involve myself in this community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't had any CouchSurfing™ experiences yet, but I have slept on couches. My friend had a broken air mattress once and it would slowly deflate throughout the night, and you would wake up surrounded by a half-inflated air mattress, but your back on a hardwood floor.

音乐、电影和书籍

Currently reading C by Tom McCarthy (it's awesome). The Crossing by Cormac McCarthy (no relation), White Noise by Don DeLillo, and 2666 by Roberto Bolaño are among some of my favorites.

I used to be a DJ at the hippest radio station in Connecticut, WHUS. I've been listening to Washed Out, Guided by Voices, Galaxie 500, and Weezer recently. I like anything from Hank Williams to disco to Boris.

Two of my favorite movies are Splendor in the Grass and The 400 Blows. Recently, The King's Speech.

Stone Mountain? I dunno, I was four or five when I saw it.

More recently, I went to Dublin and London, and that was awesome.
