About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live the questions.

ABOUT ME

Happy, easy going, interested in meeting new people. Hate only one thing in this life: green beans. Am very conscious of personal and environmental health, and strive to live conscious of my impact upon this world. My main weakness is chocolate. I believe that every encounter between people is an opportunity for growth. Attempting to come to terms with how short this life is.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything that happens is again and again a beginning.

The person with the big dreams is more powerful than the one with all the facts.

If the culture doesn't work, don't buy it.

Do what is difficult.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was fortunate to meet two really good friends through couchsurfing.com, who so graciously helped me land on my feet when I first arrived in Scotland. I'd like to not only pay it back, but also explore connecting with people this way.

Interests

I like to read, hike, paint, write, film, explore, bake, swim, paddle, laugh, dance, and bask in the sunshine!

Music, Movies, and Books

So many. I'll save topic this for a friendly debate over a pint.

Teach, Learn, Share

This is a wonderful opportunity to exchange skill sets and contest the pervasive trend of "specialization" among the workers of the world. Exchanging knowledge and wisdom is a considerable part of the human experience! That said, I'm not the one to look to if you need your engine fixed or your hard drive malfunctions. But, my insatiable curiosity, and my inordinately long attention span, coupled with an enthusiasm for debate can most certainly stimulate learning for all parties involved.
