CURRENT MISSION

Traveling in search of the best breakfast. Oh and making my way out to DC.

ABOUT ME

Background in journalism, language pedagogy, and politics. Loves nature, but not too much. Spent much of the last 20 years living by the beach. Spontaneous. More silly than wacky, actually. Lactose intolerant. ENTP.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is what you make of it.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I tried it once in Turkey and the camaraderie was amazing. I try to experience the world through different perspectives. To laugh at jokes that need no translation, to take comfort in a collective consciousness of welfare and charity, to feel the divine in a moment of banality -- these are all possible with genuine human connection.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Friends are always asking me to visit and cook for them. I would happily acquiesce to such requests from hosts or surfers.
