About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Keep on keepin' on...

ABOUT ME

As a first generation expat american fleeing the horrid psychological lacerations of postcapitalist American society, I’ve been living in and around Europe for a few years. I am a professional subversive, part time language prof, and translation student. All great façades for hiding the fact that I’m really not much more than an lonesome cowboy from a remote village in eastern Washington hiding from college debts overseas.

PHILOSOPHY

...right. You're asking a philosophy major.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Apart from spending half of my adolescence either on someone's couch or with someone on mine, a couple of my friends are official hardcore couchsurfers and they're house is always full of surfers, with people always coming and going.

Interests

Translation, music, philosophy... most anything really, as long as you can make it sound interesting to me. I adore cooking: food is wonderful, and food accompanied with good drink is even better.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: yes, cinemaphile. Music: yes, everything from japanese noise to dixieland. As long as its good... Books: there are way too many to even begin listing here.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled from Seattle to Buenos Aires on foot alone, broke through police barricades in a protest repeatedly, survived up until now.

I'm an English teacher and an Italian/French/Spanish translator,
