ABOUT ME

I am probably taller than you.

I enjoy red wine, good conversations, and long moonlit walks on nuclear reactors...err...

PHILOSOPHY

I want to know as many different kinds of people as I can. I especially want to understand their point of view.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This is just the beginning.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I offered my couch to activists/protesters during the RNC 2004 while I was still living in Brooklyn, nyc. I have surfed on friends couches while traveling. I have let travelers stay at my home, on occasion. Surfed in Park Slope and Joshua Tree. In Shanghai, I went to a couple CS parties, convinced friends to sign up (yeah!) and met with a few travelers. CSed in China. Hosted in Iowa and New Mexico.

Music, Movies, and Books

Gimme books!

I make movies.

I have been a number of different people and my music taste reflects that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent time laying on my back in the 85' dish of Antenna #27 at the Very Large Array radio astronomy observatory.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English and French, & a small amount of Mandarin Chinese as well as vegetarian cooking lessons in exchange for other languages and recipes. I can show you around the cheese department or teach you painting/video editing techniques! I can build FM radio transmitters, and can also show you how!

I want to learn sustainable/diy/alternative living tips. And how to ferment things. And high desert farming tips. I have a few tricks up my sleeve in exchange.
