CURRENT MISSION

DYI comedy tour of the world!

ABOUT ME

The most serious goofball you'll ever meet. I'm a completely split personality -- between an outgoing, sometimes crazed performer and a shy (groan -- loathe describing myself) thinker. When I'm on stage I want every ounce of attention; when off, I like to listen, and drink in new places, experiences, people, and especially ... stories.

PHILOSOPHY

it's evolving -- whatever it ends up being, I'm sure "philosophy" will seem a rather grand title for it

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just started surfing! I went all the way from NYC to OR on couches, while chasing down some comedy gigs.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Love it. Have yet to meet a bland host, everyone has been fascinating and delightful in their own way -- and I thought I didn't like people! But that is the nature of this type of experience -- taking chances, meeting strangers -- when we encounter the new, out best selves often come to the fore. This is an incredible new international community.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most recently just saw the world's largest sea cave on the coast of OR, just north of Florence, right on the PCH. Just beyond the reach of the crashing surf, hundreds of sea lions lay heaped atop one another like denizens of Hell in a Goya. Some slept, some wrestled, most howled their low, guttural howl in that vast, resonant cavern -- an amazing sight, but a more amazing sound!
