a student of many things, but right now the tuition's going to film.

i love music, movies, poetry, reading, walking in nature. i live by my own time and i'm not one for social media (except courchsurfing of course :)

i'm completely right-brained: i'm so bad at math i literally broke my foot doing an algebra problem.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We’ll manage to get back, someday, to the tie siding where the idea/of all this began, frustrated and a little hungry, but eager/to hear each others’ tales of what went on in the interim/of our long lives, what the tea leaves said/and whether it turned out that way.
- John Ashbery -

To meet the creatures (and couches) i share this floating rock with, to swap laughs and travel tales, and (that cliche phrase) see the world)!
