CURRENT MISSION

To build a large, elaborate, individual flying machine.

ABOUT ME

I'm a teacher and student (teaching English and working on a Master's in English Language Acquisition) in Barcelona, originally from California. Have lived in lots of different places, but would love to settle down here!

PHILOSOPHY

I buy all my cars at police auctions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined a long time ago when I lived in Berkeley, but I didn't really get into it until I was living in Majorca, where I hosted a ton. I hosted a lot more people in New York City. Now I'm living somewhere in Barcelona where I can host again and would enjoy doing so now and then.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted many people in Majorca and New York City, although I still haven't done much surfing while traveling myself!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Oh, who knows! I have done and seen lots of fun, wonderful and beautiful things...

""I am a skeptic. You doubt God? Well more to the point I credit God
with the good sense to doubt me.
What is mortality after all but divine doubt flashing over us? For an instant God
suspends assent and POOF! we disappear.
It happens to me frequently. You disappear? Yes and then come back.
Moments of death I call them. Have an olive..."
- Anne Carson, "Autobiography of Red"
