CURRENT MISSION

to abolish cultural lethargy and shake everyone's ass

ABOUT ME

I have a pathological ability to talk to strangers, anywhere, in any language I can, anytime of the day or night. Sometimes there is no common language but music but that works as well.

I love being far from my base to better find a center within myself. But what i love most is providing a center for people to feel balanced and loved. A couch can be such center.

I love to discover a town or place with the people who live there, and I'd like to show you a good time if you ever come by Atlanta !

PHILOSOPHY

We did not go through the pain of birth to spend our life on a couch watching TV. We are on this Earth to spend our life on each other's couch discovering one another, sharing laughter and love. And wine. lots of it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A sunrise over the Nevada desert after a long night of dancing. Actually quite a few of those ;-)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Climatology - the science behind global warming
I am told in am a kickass guitar player/singer, so i can always entertain that way.
I'm not a bad cook either, since my friends always ask me to make food for them.
I can teach French (amazingly enough, some people still want to learn it)

I can share a shelter, food, and warmth.

I have a lot to learn about everything. I want to start DJing and need some input !
