CURRENT MISSION

Collecting some yarn, earning some bruises.

ABOUT ME

I derive excitement from finding things whose existence precedes my own, like monocles and negatives featuring the long deceased.

I guess, in general, I'm pretty curious.

PHILOSOPHY

Pour n'être pas les esclaves martyrisés du Temps,
enivrez-vous;
enivrez-vous sans cesse!
De vin, de poésie ou de vertu, à votre guise.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It wouldn't have been Italy without it.

Interests

Bizarre dreams. Nomads. Robust Coffee. Robust laughter.

Additionally: (post)modern art, cooking, poetry, most things analog, intensely awkward experiences.

I really like beer and earl grey.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once met a Martian outside of the Pompidou.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach me everything you know about food. I am a goldmine of tofu and baked goods, and I love feeding the masses.

I could tentatively show you how to develop photos. Or paint in oils. Or throw some pottery.

Maybe you could better my French?
