About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Can't think of anything more basic or sincere than love and fulfillment

ABOUT ME

I'm from Philadelphia but I spent 5 years living and studying and adventuring abroad. I'm still up for a good adventure, a good long chat, some good food, and a good drink.

(I used to run this profile with my flatmates when I lived in Glasgow, hence why there are mentions of Toni and Gemma. They were the lovely folk who I lived with :) )

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone can be a 'gray' character; complexity and context are inherent, and so I try to be forgiving as often as I can. Friendliness, trust, loyalty and caring, these are the traits I look for in people. But I don't really mind anyone's own beliefs as long as they aren't completely close-minded or cruel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not had much couchsurfing experience, but I've known several friends who've done it and have had great experiences so I've decided to join in.

Interests

Painting and photography, films and music, (watching) football (read: soccer), obscure history, adventuring and madness.

Music, Movies, and Books

Hayao Miyazaki, Tim Burton, Wes Anderson. Lots of electronic music and indie/synthpop.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've traveled a bit, but probably not half as much as the rest of the people on this site. Done a lot of great things and a lot of funny stories, but none that I'd judge my life on.
