CURRENT MISSION

Tat tvam asi, "Thou art that,"

ABOUT ME

I use the constellations to point my way. Unfortunately, those constellations are the ones that look like dinosaurs and cars I made up when I was a child. I'm a temeritous, dreamful and meditative mind. After a days work, I reek of compassion. Ultimate goal is the Peace Corps.

PHILOSOPHY

To not want everything and two of some of this shit. Tat tvam asi.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Trading stories for your couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only surfed a few times, it was helpful and wonderful. Sleeping outside tucked into the cracks of the world is alright enough, but a foldout couch is a godsend and a shower is love.

Interests

Beat literature, collecting alms, compassion & the Buddha, the perfection of wisdom; bouldering, your local music scene, charity work, the 1990s, living sustainably & subsisting on little, being happy with a pittance, my six-string, storytelling and what you have to say.
