CURRENT MISSION

to live a life worthy of nonfictionalizing

ABOUT ME

a little uncool and a little uncouth. needs constant stimuli. always curious. linguistically inclined. primarily nocturnal. happy and easily excitable. francophile.

PHILOSOPHY

Que dites-vous ?… C'est inutile ?… Je le sais !
Mais on ne se bat pas dans l'espoir du succès !
Non ! non, c'est bien plus beau lorsque c'est inutile !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

urban exploration. spanish. extravagant costume parties. accumulating books. 24-hour subway systems. swing, salsa, tango, merengue. frisbee? am currently transitioning from classical to jazz piano - a strange journey.
