CURRENT MISSION

I want to know if I'm a microcosm of the universe outside of me. I want to be a compassionate person.

ABOUT ME

I like the feeling of being overwhelmed by the night sky reeling away overhead.

PHILOSOPHY

"Does a dog have the Buddha nature? Decide either way and you lose yours."
-Morton Feldman referencing Zen philosophy

I'm not really a Buddhist, but I do cultivate questions over answers. It's a philosophy of indecision, I guess.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a couch in Astoria, Queens, in an apartment I live in with a roommate. If you're interested in a place to stay, email me and I'll see if it can work!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I lived in Houston, I had a good time hosting a touring punk-bluegrass band from Florida with my girlfriend. Couchsurfing has been very good to me every time I've used it myself, and the message boards are very useful! I like that there is always a couchsurfing community that I can connect with, no matter what city in the world I find myself in!

Interests

Listening.

Stories, persons, wind, wind chimes, tangy old upright pianos.

I also like simple tools like backscratchers and grapefruit spoons.

• dogs
• traveling
• piano

Music, Movies, and Books

Music played in living rooms

I am a Beatles nerd

I am always looking to find new sounds, new sights, new words... So, I'm interested in your interests!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In spite of a fear of heights that leaves me unable to rock-climb, I jumped off of a 90 foot cliff into water.
