CURRENT MISSION

I am a veteran journalist, who departed Los Angeles for Europe almost two years ago, and have still managed to find work in my field, which is really cool. I'd like to continue doing so, much closer to the Arctic Circle if possible.

ABOUT ME

Quiet, most likely often out running or at the gym. I write a lot in my spare time, and for a living. I count myself rather lucky that I get to do so as a career, and it has been interesting taking that career path to Europe.

For as many places as I've been in the world, Europe is still very new to me, and I've explored little of it. I'd like to remedy that.

PHILOSOPHY

I write, I run, I lift heavy things, and I vagabond. Moving about is my nature, and so far as I can tell, that's not going to change. In doing so, I like to leave as small a footprint as possible wherever I go, and if I do end up impacting a life in any significant way, I'd like to think I'll do so in a pleasant way, even if by simply being a low-key presence. I dunno if that makes sense, but it's worked for me thus far.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am both a surfer, though rarely now, and a new host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I fairly well established myself as a surfer upon arriving in Europe. Looking to finally return the favor.

Interests

I write almost constanty, and I go on lots of walks.
