Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I love Phish and the Grateful Dead. I also love Pearl Jam. My tendency is toward live improvised performance, but I can appreciate most music for what it is.

Movies: Godfather (Drama), Apocalypse Now (Action/Drama), Dumb and Dumber (Comedy) and anything Coen Brothers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently did a 5-day hike, or 'paseo', through Parque Los Nevados in Colombia.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will share what I can, be it language, lessons, simple chit-chat, guitar lessons, ideas about fitness and health.
