CURRENT MISSION

After living in PA for 2 years I'm returning to NYC full-time. Now I just need a room in an apartment for under $800/mo.

PHILOSOPHY

Once you decide to believe in something you have willingly contributed to your own brain death. Never forget that everything is theoretical.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In the summer of 2006 I became homeless, and for a period of three weeks had to go from one friend's couch to the next. When I ran out of options, I had to retreat to my parents in south central PA. At that point CS was supposedly out of business, or I might have been able to stay in NYC long enough to get a new job.
