CURRENT MISSION

To explore strange new cities, to seek out new friendly life and existing civilizations, and to boldly drink where many people have drunk before.

ABOUT ME

I'm an American expatriate living in Madrid. I spend most of my life telling people that I'm not shy, I'm just reserved, but I love talking, so long as it's about something important.

What is something important? Probably the things that seem the most trivial. :-)

PHILOSOPHY

The purpose of life is exactly what you want it to be. Existence precedes essence. Existentialism!

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed once, met a bunch of people, and currently open for hosting.

兴趣

Music, literature, writing, playing violin/guitar, movies, drinking, discussing philosophy, making fun of Americans and English, eating, using the internet, and probably drinking again.
