CURRENT MISSION

Crossing off a very long bucket list

ABOUT ME

I am usually a hoster of couchsurfers in Melbourne along with my housemates Itir and Kate.

I am more or less a happy guy, because I've lived my life more or less the way I've wanted to...I suppose I wouldn't mind being be taller. I am curious by nature, which has gotten me into trouble on more than one occasion. I love conversation, about books, art, travel and ridiculous things. I am a few contrasts: ridiculous and serious, open and introverted, crude and articulate, cautious and reckless, easily fascinated and easily bored. I spend time with people and time by myself in equal measure.

I could happily eat oreos until I die of chocolate-cream poisoning.

I work as an artist and in publishing.

I could happily eat hotdogs until I die of frankfurter poisoning.

Melbourne is home.

A Lithuanian musician once wrote a song about me while we were in Africa. There's even a film clip.

I drink way too much coffee.

My favourite artist is Robert Rauschenberg.

My great-grandfather was an American Vaudeville entertainer.

PHILOSOPHY

None yet, ask me when I'm sixty.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted many couchsurfers through my housemates in Melbourne and met some great people. Now that I am on the the road again, I have only recently joined the couch surfing community.
