About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Figure out how to live comfortably across the world through making a difference.

ABOUT ME

So mmm bio in a box.
I'm trying real hard to figure out how to operate in the world, getting success while building on a world vision that isn't so bloody negative. I'm currently building a museum in Washington D.C. for mainstream news, but I'm an alternative news junky.
I'm fairly well traveled but have a thirst to see more of my planet. Maybe I'll run into ya around the bend.

PHILOSOPHY

Jeez- if I had this figured out I'd be miles ahead but here's a thought:

The biggest problem I see in the world is a lack of empathy between people. Once you can look through the eyes of another- you are bonded by a common humanity and it is your obligation to address what that person sees as well as your own views.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been a host way more than I've been a guest.

Interests

Media and music have been big factors in my evolution. I read voraciously and find nothing better than reading a good book in a foreign park. Sort of paradox, but I love football- Arsenal all the way!

Music, Movies, and Books

Gimme Fiction! and non-fiction!!!!
Dig Dostoyevsky and Borges.
I'm a live music person and go to more shows than my budget really allows.
Big believer in good documentaries and I love awkward comedies ala Royal Tenenbaums.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking on a stone wall submerged in water (it was high tide so it looked like I was walking on water) to camp out on an island in a Spanish Basque town called Leketio. See my photos for what I'm describing.
