I love travel! My dream is to be able to scratch off every country on my adorable mounted scratch map. Or work for NASA. ...scratch off seems more obtainable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love people and I love learning about countries and cultures and languages and food. What better way to learn than to hang out with someone who lives there?

Interests

Everything. Ever. Especially science and space.

I'm obsessed with history and Siberia. My next goal is to cross the Trans-Siberian and stay in Irkutsk and Mirny and survive the winter.

Seriously, love Siberia.

And beer. And FOOD.

No, seriously, if you host me I have no problem staying up all night drinking and baking and cooking and we'll have a giant food party and a drinking contest and in the morning I will TOTALLY clean up and we'll try to remember what happened and why there are aebleskivers scattered about the living room.

I digress.

Music, Movies, and Books

Les Miserables. Best book ever written. No arguments accepted. Lord of the Rings, of course, and yeah, I was a Harry Potter geek for a number of years.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Writing a novel? If you're into that.

Teach, Learn, Share

I bake a lot, if you'd like to learn some more of that. I can teach you Spanish?

What I Can Share with Hosts

Utterly atrocious levels of geekiness. No, seriously. You wanna know what that star is up there two jumps over from the moon? I can probably tell you. And if not, I can definitely make up something quickly and smartly enough to fake it. I am a space dork, and have no shame.

I hope, on a more serious note, that I can share experiences and good times, and get some back in return. I really love people and mindless chatter, but I also love quiet times. I'm quirky and crazy, but hopefully in a good way.
