CURRENT MISSION

In general, friendship and exposure to the wider world, but personally:

1. To publish a novel
2. To continue learning Spanish in Mexico, to learn Turkish in Istanbul with the help of my friends, and to learn Irish in Connemara
3. To master Irish traditional music on the mandolin, the fiddle, and the bazouki

ABOUT ME

I'm a reader/writer/thinker trying to do something worthwhile. I like live music, exploring by bike, cooking, getting into trouble, etc.

I also have a job, but that's boring.

PHILOSOPHY

Secular humanism.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting people,front loading my karma for when I go out and travel, trying to stop beginning languages and master one.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a few people in my time.

兴趣

Reading, writing, and 'rithmetic. Also, movies and music. I play traditional Irish music on the mandolin, but that's recent. Oh, so is yoga.
