About Me

*** Hosting is possible but it's always day-to-day, send me a request anyway ***

American, originally from northern California, living in NYC.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To know the world is to know the people.

Interests

Ancient astrology, travel, language history, culture, art. Anything that reveals the world in a new light is of interest to me.

I like people who think for themselves. Originality. Contributing something more than your own self-satisfaction. Small moments of big significance. The weather. What you really think.

When I'm traveling I want to see the best art in your old museums, the historical sites, the parks and the natural vistas. In between I'll ride your public transport and see rush-hour and visit the parts of town where people actually live.

Music, Movies, and Books

Documentaries.
Music that doesn't sound like it was made by a committee according to a formula
Non-fiction books

I am old and I like things that are real, but in the past I saw a thousand small bands, movies, tv, read Jack Kerouac, and lived like a proper Californian. Possibly I haven't changed at all.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Everything is amazing if you look at it right.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like answering all those questions about the US that people are usually afraid to ask Americans.

What I Can Share with Hosts
