CURRENT MISSION

take the road less traveled by

ABOUT ME

I'm bright, easy going, well mannered, and extremely fond of puns. I also love to sing karaoke, climb things, and walk for miles and miles with no sense of direction.

PHILOSOPHY

It is the mark of an educated mind to entertain an idea without accepting it. -Aristotle

When two go together, one of them at least looks forward to see what is best; a man by himself though he be careful, still has less mind in him than two, and his wits have less weight. -Homer: Iliad X 224-226

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just rediscovered this website recently and would love to host others once these vagabond shoes are spent.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First time Couchsurfer.

Interests

Hmm, I'll go with a good ol' fashioned list: theatre, improv comedy, argentine tango, singing, studying philosophy, art history, meeting people from all walks of life, wandering around cities, hiking, cycling, most anything that includes good weather and the outdoors.

Smitten with David Foster Wallace at present.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I introduced Jackson Pollock to a group of elementary students, and let's just say there was a lot of paint splattered all over our shoes.
