CURRENT MISSION

To absorb all of humanity and set foot in every country on the face of the earth.

ABOUT ME

I see myself as constantly learning, trying to understand all of humanity by interacting with it, one person at a time. I play rock and blues guitar, travel with my acoustic to coffee shops and make music with anyone willing, I write short stories and novels and try to get published, I teach myself languages, history, philosophy and culture and I discuss them with anyone willing to talk and listen. I cook, sing, try to paint (unsuccessfully so far!), arrange trance music, and generally take pleasure in the small things in life. Oh, and I do all this during the day so at night, I can revel in the music, club, and bar scene of the world's great cities.

My goal is to make everything of my life, to emulate the greatest renaissance men and develop an understanding of mankind that transcends borders, languages and prejudice.

PHILOSOPHY

Fortune favors the bold.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've had a few surfers through CS and other sites but I haven't yet surfed myself. I hope to change that though!

I've hosted some people and I look forward to taking extended time off to become a surfing aficionado.

Music, Movies, and Books

The book Cover of Darkness is great, not just because I wrote it. Two of my favorite bands: Aerosmith and Jamiroquai. I love classic American blues-rock but also techno, classical, trip-hop, urban house, trance, and the like. I read everything I can. As a would-be author, the best advice I ever read is: Read a lot and write a lot. I put forth my best effort with both.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Riding a train in the early morning hours along the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains from Budapest to Bratislava. Or going clubbing and bar hopping through Barcelona. That's two. Sorry.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd rather teach and learn through discussion and debate. If you ever meet me, I'll discuss anything and everything.
