Présentation
À propos de moi
CURRENT MISSION
Planning journeys to discover languages and cultures overlooked by many travelers.
ABOUT ME
I am from the city of Irvine in southern California. Most of my working life has been devoted to serving higher education, but I am personally getting more interested in medicine. I am an intensive listener of music and devotee of film, but I haven't seen or heard much new nowadays. I'm certified to be a first responder to medical emergencies in wilderness areas, love hiking, and learning about new foods and cooking techniques. Most of my travels overseas have been in the former Soviet Union (Caucasus and Central Asia).
PHILOSOPHY
Let it all go and enjoy our lives with confidence and passion.
Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Preparing for my future trip to Afghanistan by learning Pashto. I try to give my hosts and companions an enjoyable time. If you're really lucky, you'll see me dance well.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Walking on a ceiling under the stars while eating date cookies and chatting about Israeli settlements (a village near Bethlehem), drunkenly burning my clothes and glasses in Georgia (Borjomi).
Adventures with Turkish high school teachers. Speaking forbidden languages.
Centres d'intérêt
I am pretty good at MacGyvering meals. If you haven't heard that term before, just imagine making a full Thanksgiving dinner with what is available in a typical Russian supermarket.
- arabic
- russian
- persian

Morceaux de musique, films et livres
Directors: I can't say enough good about Majidi Majidi and Abbas Kiarostami from Iran. I've watched almost everything David Lynch has directed and enjoyed it all.
I like quirky, aggressive dance music (klezmer, Caucasian lezginkas, Levantine dabkes).
Authors: David Graeber, Mark Ames do a good job at explaining our modern world.
Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue
Hiking into the Turkmen desert after some brandy shots, getting lost, and finally leaving the desert after 16 hours of mindless hiking.
Reducing Jordanian crime rates.
