CURRENT MISSION

Carpe-ing the diem, as best I can.

ABOUT ME

Not a snorer, as far as I know.

Expert dishwasher (former profession, in fact) and as helpful as I can be around the house.

Love to drink beer in old-style pubs.

PHILOSOPHY

I won't eat any cereal that doesn't turn the milk purple.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Completely new to couchsurfing (March, 2009). Right now, I live in a small apartment in northern Italy and unfortunately have no couch to offer. As soon as I do, I look forward to adventuring with you.

In the meantime, if you have a couch to offer, I'm there.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked up a mountain with some friends in a blizzard in the middle of the night. Skied down at sunrise. Made it to class almost ontime... only to pass out in the front row in front of one of the world's most renowned Moby Dick scholars.
