About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to entertain inconventional experiences, while hopefully meeting genuine people.

ABOUT ME

I'm constantly snapping photographs, and I spend faaar too much money on film. But I can't think of anything better to spend my funds on, so it all works out.
I like to ride motorcycles, debate religion and politics, experiment in the kitchen, and read any book I find that seems as if it might be remotely interesting.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe life is too short to surround yourself with people who bring out the worst in you, and try to surround myself with people who help me grow as a person instead.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Prague and I are in the courting stage of our relationship. I'm learning some about her, she's learning a bit about me- I'm more than happy to explore her interworkings with company. I'm always down for coffee and conversation, so if someone wants a cafe partner just let me know!

I don't have a couch, as I live in a small dorm-type flat, but I do have a floor- if you bring a sleeping bag (or not, your call) I'm all for letting you crash.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

my floor has been graced by passerby a time or two.

Interests

Exploring the convoluted side streets of Praha; writing prose; taking portraits of unsuspecting strangers; listening to good jazz (or any music with a good beat and decent lyrics); doodling; attempting to learn the ways of the piano; reading; drinking tea; kayaking; discovering the joys of Czech beer.
