About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to not be homeless this week while I bridge the gap between work and family.

Also: is it me or do all guys here not accept other guys cuz they're just tryna get laid while all the women don't accept guys cuz they think the guy is tryna get laid? People man...

ABOUT ME

I'm a quiet, mellow person. I stay that way till I get comfortable then I'm loud and gregarious but hardly ever overbearing or crass. I'm tactful and diplomatic and genuinely enjoy listening to what people have to say about the world, philosophy, whatever... I read lips because I'm a little deaf which causes some pretty funny misunderstandings depending on how people interpret it. I use cars, films, and stupid humor as icebreakers.

PHILOSOPHY

None of us ever asked to be born, so let's make the most of this accident.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to the CS project but I like what I see. When I get back home, I'll be offering up my couch for surfage.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None via this website. A bunch via friends+family+own initiative. In Israel I stayed with a Rabbi and ended up introducing him to his future wife!

Interests

Cars. Funnies. Books. Movies. History. Philosophy. Egg-sex-tent-all-ism. Disproving Baudrilliard.

Music, Movies, and Books

The representative bunch. Led Zeppelin. Kurt Vonnegut. Slumdog Millionaire.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw a bomb robot dismantle a car in Israel while enjoying my lunch. I drove 15 miles on the PCH in a convertible. Naked. I lived in Japan for 60 days with less than 1,500 US dollars and ended up getting a job.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English or any of the other languages I know. Public speaking. How to play guitar. I have the IQ of cheese so if understand it, I can probably teach it.

Countries I’ve Visited

Israel, Japan, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
