CURRENT MISSION

reading Hume & eating more leafy greens.

ABOUT ME

I play a couple of stringed instruments and sing a bit. I enjoy dairy products, especially milk. I binge on books and chocolate. I had a great aunt named Clementine who lived to be 99, and I am grateful to the person or people who invented dresses/skirts with pockets. I currently teach history and geography at a high school in Paris.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sleeping in others' abodes; allowing others to sleep in my abode.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've slept on other people's couches, and I've made up many a luxurious couch for other people.

Interests

Musical instruments, books, taco trucks in LA, rescuing things (mostly kittens and chairs) off the streets of New York (pre-bedbug epidemic), twirling my hair.
