CURRENT MISSION

I like listening to people and looking at old buildings

ABOUT ME

Once I was hit by a cop car while going for a walk. I used to be a librarian, barista, grocery boy, custodian, newspaper deliverer, but now I teach. Still, I push in chairs and pick up pieces of trash and cannot resist wiping up a spilled coffee. I used to be in a lot of punk bands, mine moved to Vegas and I said "so long," and now place my extra time into writing 'zines and thinking about reading Tolstoy. I ride a bike and sometimes want a subscription to National Geographic. I took pilates at the Y and was awful at them.

PHILOSOPHY

"Uh."

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like group travels ('zine tours, band tours, trips toward a conference, trips toward nothing in particular but an exciting new city). Guests are usually pretty inspiring. There are a lot of lives I've wanted to try living.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had strangers on my couch for years, then I found this website. The statistics of awesome people to jerks is pretty similar; most people are kind, respectful, and fun to host.
