About Me

CURRENT MISSION

node-seeking. let me know if u find one.

ABOUT ME

Rather than boring you with a corny, self-aggrandizing autoadvertisement in which I vainly attempt to convey the "complexities of my personality" through discursive prose, I will instead proceed to free-associate until it seems appropriate to stop. For the psychoanalytically inclined among you, this should be quite revealing. Also, I'm a Leo, if you are into that.

But 4 real I'm nice and will talk to you about anything and will sleep in any conditions and I'm new at Travel-ing but if it's anything like just living then I should be OK at it.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is truly lived in the moments when the utter incongruity of our notions about the world and our existential experience of it is most apparent. Deconstruction of Knowledge is our most pressing obligation: awareness is only to be found in aporia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed in Wales, Bulgaria, Paris, and Istanbul, and hosted a few surfers at my house in Colorado Springs. Many positive experiences, I hope to keep having them.

Interests

playing/listening to music, podcasts, philosophy, books, urban biking, rock climbing, aimless wandering, cooking (vegetarian), really spicy food, dried mangoes, pretentious coffee brewing techniques (siphon, Chemex, Aeropress, Clover), pure abstraction, series of repeated images, synchronicity, accidentally taking a cool picture.
