ABOUT ME

aspirant journalist, sometimes anarchist, banjo. I like good greasy breakfasts and coffee and books.

PHILOSOPHY

i feel like continuing on the breakfast theme here when i say a good greasy breakfast (see above) and hot, terrible, refillable coffee is about the only sure cure for getting lost (existentially?) i've found. a new direction always seems a lot more plausible over a good roadside plate 'a eggs. i guess that's a philosophy

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i had a couple good experiences with it a few years ago but, right now i'm on the tail end of a very long american travel saga during which a lot of really great people found me bumming around and welcomed me into their homes, so i want to repay the cosmic debt! and i love meeting people from other places, especially when i'm at home. makes me think i'm on da road
