One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got out of bed this morning

Teach, Learn, Share

People who are really effing serious about their lack of seriousness.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cascadia! Our secret country in the great Northwest--technically part of the USA but we don't really see it that way. Donald Trump jokes. Unfortunately, but fortunately I'll be travelling for the next 6 weeks. Maybe, I'll see you on my travels, and when you make it to Portland, I can host the hell out of you! Or if you still need a place in pdx, I'll ask my roommates!
