À propos de moi
CURRENT MISSION
Comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable.
ABOUT ME
Originally from Northern California (Sonoma County), I've lived in a number of places. I went to university in the UK and have worked odd jobs in Holland, Czech Republic and (briefly) Kosovo as an overpaid and underqualified English teacher.
Since 2003 I've been a professional journalist working in California, upstate New York and abroad as a freelancer in South Asia and the Caucasus. I work in newspapers, radio and magazines.
I spent much of 2010-11 in Alaska working in community radio (Bristol Bay, Kodiak Island and Dutch Harbor) but have since quit those full-time jobs to be a freelancer based in Istanbul.
But... talking about myself bores me. I'll gladly answer questions when prompted, though.

PHILOSOPHY
"It's better to regret something you have done, rather than something you haven't done."
I think it was the sagely Gibby Haynes of the Butthole Surfers who said that.
Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
For about a decade, I let strangers into my home, let them sleep on my couch and even feed them. I also slept on strangers' couches and accept their food. I also attend CS meetings once in awhile.
But I am pretty much DONE with CS. So if you want to get in touch, find me on BeWelcome the (imperfect) open-source CS alternative.
