CURRENT MISSION

Survival (since reproduction is already accomplished).

ABOUT ME

A flight attendant with a degree in astrophysics and a professor/playwright/photographer. And two frighteningly bright and energetic boys, Nicholas (8 years) and Julian (7 years).

PHILOSOPHY

At the moment, no stability, but no limitations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We have a varied and full history of hosting, though at the moment it's difficult for us. We'd like to change that, though.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We've hosted many people and all have been great so far. Only surfed three times, but that was good too.

Interests

His & hers, mixed: Travel, astronomy, food, art, archeology, theatre, red wine, film, rock & roll, history, wildlife, butoh, philosophy, Shakespeare, paleontology, dance, sampling exotic beers and ales, learning to count & read. (The last 3 apply to the kids.)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Earthquakes, typhoons, hurricanes, tornadoes. Have eaten grasshoppers and silkworms in Korea.

Teach, Learn, Share

Helen works as a flight attendant and so has a great range of travel experiences to share and is also certified to teach Mandarin, if you're interested. Barry is trained in Stanislavski and other styles of theater. Nicholas will talk to you all day about evolution, astronomy and his plans to build a giant robot.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, conversation, maybe some exotic food and drink.
