CURRENT MISSION

I want to see it all. And I want to meet everyone who has a story to tell.

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, I love to meet new people. I love to play music. I love to read and to write and to collaborate with others. I am a news junky, through and though.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything happens for a reason. Too bad there's no such thing as reason.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love couchsurfing. Years and years ago, I let a Belgian couple stay with me before I knew what this website really was, and I've been hooked ever since. Always good to know locals any place you go. If you can be my local, great. If I can be yours, just as good.

Interests

Music, the Middle East, fiction, non-fiction, logic, writing, religion, current events, psychology, well written TV series... the list continues to grow.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Thank You For Smoking, Little Miss Sunshine, The Bands Visit, Once, Lars and the Real Girl. Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Books: I am a big reader. Love Kurt Vonnegut and Tom Robbins. Like I.B. Singer, Chaim Potok, Kerouac. I have very conflicted thoughts about Phillip Roth. Also read loads of non-fiction. I read about the Middle East a lot, but also anything else that sounds interesting.

In terms of music, things that I am listening to these days are: Darrell Scott, Andrew Bird, The Milk Carton Kids, The Del McCoury Band, The Punch Brothers, Michael Hedges, Sara Watkins, John Hartford...

That list barely scrapes the surface, but its a beginning at least.
