CURRENT MISSION

Climb! Be a ski bum! Ride my bike across America!

ABOUT ME

I am a person.

Like most people, I enjoy reading and listening to music. I'm also interested in other, more dangerous hobbies, like skiing, skateboarding, climbing, and jumping off cliffs. I like cats.

I don't know what I'm going to do with my life because I'm interested in learning everything.

I'm always hungry.

PHILOSOPHY

Things will work themselves out one way or another.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I don't have a couch to offer, and if I did, I don't have a house that I would put it in. But I've been the lucky recipient of immeasurable hospitality while here in Asia, so as soon as I find a job and a house I plan on doing whatever I can to to pass that hospitality on to others.

Interests

Skiing, cats, trampolines, foolish gambling, climbing, cute things, swimming, filling my chronically empty belly.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

You ask for a hamburger, I give you a hamburger. You raise it to your lips and take a bite. Your eye twitches involuntarily. Across the street a father of three falls down the stairs. You swallow and look down at the hamburger in your hands. I give you a hamburger. You swallow and look down at the hamburger in your hands. You cannot swallow. There are children at the top of the stairs. A pickle shifts uneasily under the bun. I give you a hamburger. You look at my face, and I am pleading with you. The children are crying now. You raise the hamburger to your lips, tears stream down your face as you take a bite. I give you a hamburger. You are on your knees. You plead with me to go across the street. I hear only children’s laughter. I give you a hamburger. You are screaming as you fall down the stairs. I am your child. You cannot see anything. You take a bite of the hamburger. The concrete rushes up to meet you. You awake with a start in your own bed. Your eye twitches involuntarily. I give you a hamburger. As you kill me, I do not make a sound. I give you a hamburger.
