About Me

ABOUT ME

One of the many things I love about this life is the spontaneity it affords. I live for moments of human connection for as Jon Krakauer writes in Into the Wild, "Happiness only real if shared." Things we teach each other are the greatest gifts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Oh boy, too many to put down.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. Summiting Toubkal (4,167 m) in the Atlas Mountains -- Let me assure you, running shoes + hardcore mountain climbing = snowy slip 'n' slide.

2. The second is seeing the reactions of my loved ones upon receiving their own personalized lymric as my holiday gift -- Whomever said that giving is far better than receiving was so on point.

3. Singing at the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival -- Such a rush!

Teach, Learn, Share

1. Fermenting things; Kombucha, Beer, Yogurt, Pickles, Kimchee, Sauerkraut etc.
2. Throwing pots
3. Piano lessons (or how to read music)
4. How to lucid dream
5. Knit/Sew/Crochet (basically, anything to wake your grandmotherly soul)
6. How to sing barbershop tags/harmonize
7. Give a haircut
