CURRENT MISSION

Will Teach English For Food (Literally)

ABOUT ME

According to the friend who I just put on the spot: quirky. A very diplomatic, yet apt, description of me. The others would probably also mention how much I love to eat and read books. Still more would wax lyrical about my prodigious frisbee skills, or my kindly nature or my unabashed love of all things French.

But they're not readily available to comment, so you'll just have to take my word for it.

PHILOSOPHY

Les vies les plus belles sont celles qu'on s'invente.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been both a Surfer and a Host, and I've found both to be equally amazing experiences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Fantabulous.

Interests

I spend a lot of time thinking about nothing in particular. From time to time, I'll talk about nothing in particular, too. Given the opportunity, I love listening to others do the same.

Here are other things I enjoy:
- Meta-texts
- The idea of l'Academie Française
- Thunderstorms
- Tea, bookcases, and cats
- Listening to music and wishing that I could play some
- Walking aimlessly
- Writing endlessly

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At this point in my life (maybe this is the wine talking) I'm in awe of how quickly time passes and people change. In short, life boggles my mind (too broad?).

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach me everything you can in the brief time we have together. I'll do my best to do the same.
