Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To get out in the world.
ABOUT ME
My name's Sean. I love people because they're my species.
PHILOSOPHY
To be a typical liberal, I believe everyone should pursue what makes them happiest while improving as many lives as possible.
I'd also say I'm an existentialist, fascinated with post-structuralism.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Mostly inactive at the moment.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Throughout my 20s, my friends have hosted a number of CSers. I've always been someone tangentially around – giving directions and rides, taking people to see what Arizona has to offer, etc.
Interests
I love books and any sort of periodical. I write for a living, though it's not quite as luxurious as it might seem. I love coffee and conversations. I like mellow wines and old films. I'm all right with occasionally going out all night.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love Heart of Darkness, Gravity's Rainbow, and East of Eden.
I love Sub Pop and most anything you can get through their artists using last.fm. Dick Dale, too.
I love Criterion movies. Exterminating Angel and Last Year at Marienbad are two favorites of mine. Harold and Maude, too.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I was in London, at the Tate. I turned a corner and unexpectedly walked into a John Heartfield exhibit. I love his work and getting to see such a breadth of it, without the slightest implication it was going to be there, was simply stunning.
Also, seeing Meredith Framption's massive works in real life.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can offer you a dearth of information about Western literature, literary criticism, and philosophy where it intersects. I have a decent grasp of political theory, as well, but I primarily filter it through the lens of American politics (unfortunately).
I can show you how to set up a blog for you adventures, prettify it, and make your photos look a little better than they did originally.
I can also teach you how to turn lead into gold, water into wine, and troglodytes into crying babies.
