About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Try not to get eaten by anything.

ABOUT ME

When I go to the bar, I have this really annoying habit of taking pictures of everything/everyone present, but my litmus test for "what makes an interesting" photo plummets with each passing beer. As a result, I have about forty or fifty pictures of saltshakers on my hard drive. I also enjoy crossword puzzles, but only the ones published on Monday through Thursday, when completing them still seems achievable.

PHILOSOPHY

"Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are." - Kurt Cobain.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mostly new to couchsurfing, but surfed Spain, Portugal and Morocco this summer. Couchsurfing is cool - I had imagined it being incredibly awkward, like most things in my life, but it definitely wasn't that way.
