CURRENT MISSION

Going to Southeast Asia with my friends to be a hobo for six months.

ABOUT ME

I'm in the middle of a year off from school after graduating. I'm taking a big trip to Southeast Asia to recharge my batteries and have a wicked time before starting a Masters degree in journalism. My travel buddies and I like to live by the motto "be good" and have as much fun as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

"Man has bought brains, but all the millions in the world have failed to buy love. Man has subdued bodies, but all the power on earth has been unable to subdue love. Man has conquered whole nations, but all his armies could not conquer love. Man has chained and fettered the spirit, but he has been utterly helpless before love. High on a throne, with all the splendor and pomp his gold can command, man is yet poor and desolate, if love passes him by. And if it stays, the poorest hovel is radiant with warmth, with life and color. Thus love has the magic power to make of a beggar a king. Yes, love is free; it can dwell in no other atmosphere." - Emma Goldman

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'll be poking around the site to find couches and meet people during my travels, and when I have a place of my own again, I'd like to return the favour.

Music, Movies, and Books

Ask me. I tried to make a list but no one wants to scroll down that far.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The coolest thing I've ever seen is Alexander Calder's "Le Cirque," at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York.

Teach, Learn, Share

Things I could teach you: How to knit. How to play the guitar. How to make sure you don't mispronounce "poutine" at a Quebec restaurant and accidently ask for a hooker. CPR and first aid. How to do a perfect, fearless swan dive.

Things you could teach me: Different languages, as many as possible. Where to hang out in your area that I wouldn't know about unless a local told me.
