CURRENT MISSION

To establish why I am here and where I am going.

ABOUT ME

Einstein said that the most important question you can ask a person is if the universe is a freiendly place or not. Now, he might have been dealing with some sense of guilt and doom after having contributed to the nuclear age, but I think it's a profound question. Indeed, CouchSurfing is an expression of the friendliness of the universe, and I invite guests to my one bedroom apartment with a fine futon on the Southeast side of Santa Fe.
I've lived in Germany and Austria as a student, I taught English in Japan for a year and spent a year living in New Zealand. I've travelled around in Asia, the US and Europe and enjoy meeting other travellers, nomads and vagabonds.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I offer my futon to those coming, for whatever reason, to Santa Fe. I will feed you and if I'm not too busy I'll show you around the town, or at least go out on the town for a drink.
