Nothing special, born and raised in the northwest, doing my best to be good to myself and others. I have a degree in anthropology which is super useful for working in a restaurant. I love getting outdoors, cooking well, connecting and communicating, and I often feel sublimely belittled by foggy fir forests and great big bodies of water.
Interested in Adventure Sports
Interested in Coffee
Fluent in German
Learning German
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I love connecting and communicating with beautiful adventurous people.
Music, Movies, and Books
I think Mount Eerie is so cool. Currently I'm reading "How Green Was My Valley"
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I took off all my clothes and jumped into the Baltic sea and sipped cold water from glacial waterfalls.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you what a fricative consonant and a schwa are, and what the ASDR knobs on a synthesizer are. I'd love to learn some cool music tricks, and share a big pot of coffee or pu-erh.
What I Can Share With Hosts
a bad joke or a bad story, and if you don't like those I know how to make big fluffy pancakes.
My Interests
I play/produce music (poorly) and tutor refugees when I'm not at work. The big dream is to teach English in China this september, and I'm currently in the process of getting my visa.
