CURRENT MISSION

To be less mission-oriented.

ABOUT ME

I can be compassionate, brooding, flexible, stubborn, open-minded, wary, thoughtful, deluded, dedicated, over-cautious, carefree, crass, and introverted. The sensible middle sometimes escapes me. I've been told my tendency to blurt out long passages on obscure minutia is difficult to imitate.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is inherently simple, but yet lots of people seem quite intent on making it complicated.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf couches, and I make a mean mint julep for couch hosts.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

St. Louis is a city that people often stay for a spell (i.e. school) and then leave in the pursuit of greener pastures. For a long-time St. Louis resident (like myself), this means I have *lots* of buddies in large cities around the country with available couches. Besides saving money, couch-surfing becomes a great way to reconnect with old friends, and to see the cities I visit through their eyes.
