CURRENT MISSION

To get past the awkward second puberty that is early adulthood and experience as many new places and people as possible while I do that.

ABOUT ME

I'm subtle like a brick to the face.

PHILOSOPHY

Read the Tao Te Ching and The Joy of Solomon. The latter is a new translation of Ecclesiastes that makes more sense than what I read of it in the Bible.

It's all about letting go and letting what will be, be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been hosted in Chicago, and hosted a number of folks at my apartment. I also participated in a NYC-Philly CS Crash & partied w/ all of the CSers before hosting a few at my place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experiences hosting and being hosted have been great so far. I really loved the NYC invasion because I got to meet so many awesome, diverse people at once.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A bunch of homeless guys sitting on the steps of a closed up bank in Center City Philadelphia. Of of the younger guys was trimming the beard of an older guy who is definitely an alcoholic and probably mentally ill as well. He has these faraway eyes, like a kid daydreaming because he doesn't really know what's going on. I have never seen one human treat another so tenderly, ever.
