Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent the night weathering a storm in a shitter at the base of Mt. Fuji, Dined with decedents of Russian royalty, Rioted with workers in Kreuzberg Berlin, Fought off hundreds of flash mobbers with a pillow in San Francisco, jailed for scaling a castle, released for doing no damage. I've loved everyone I've met, and I've never regretted a thing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you my personal technique of roasting and brewing Thai coffee beans. I can teach you basic bicycle maintenance. I can give you a lesson in basic photography. I have the key to the city as well.

If you are handy with carpentry, electricity or pluming you'll be a hero around the house .

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've been told that I'm a good story teller, not that there's any shortage of those. I've also been told that I'm an intuitive listener, which might be more rare. Happy to help around the house, or cook up a dope vegetarian meal.
