CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy a less ordinary life.

ABOUT ME

I don't seem to find jobs/stability in the USA, so I take jobs abroad and keep wandering the earth. I've worked mostly in the field of education, but I've also spent time as a WOOF'er, server, pedicab driver, and a bunch of other jobs I don't care to list.

I read a little Chomsky, Zinn, and Derek Jensen; now, like Fat Mike, I'm always a little depressed. However, there's a lot of beauty in the world. I try to find reasons to smile as the world whimpers.

Life, however brief on a cosmic scale, defies entropy. If only humanity could marvel at the magic of it all without religious hokum. I'm a humanist through and through.

PHILOSOPHY

Smoke'em if you got 'em.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a bit of extra room and am happy to help out a traveler and hear a bit about your adventures.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed at Occupy SF for a few weeks. It felt like couch surfing with SF itself. I wanted to host in Salalah, but my place was too small. I have plenty of room for a person or two here in Atyrau.
