CURRENT MISSION

Soak up as much of life, people, experiences, (and good food) as I can

ABOUT ME

I love people, books, traveling, food, gardens/parks, and interesting experiences.

I'm addicted to sunshine and seem to keep acquiring more and more plants...

PHILOSOPHY

It's hard to say it any better than Emerson did:

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd love to talk to you about Dallas, the States, any place I've traveled or lived, or otherwise just entertain you while you're passing through. I love boardgames, so if you need a couple relaxing hours during your travels I may have a game with your name on it. Welcome to Texas!

I look forward to having my own couch to share with you in the future!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The majority of my CS experiences have been in Europe, while I was still living in Barcelona. The wonderful, enjoyable, and generous people I met during that time inspire me to continue my involvement in this project in whatever way I can.

Music, Movies, and Books

I used to say I listened to anything but country, except that now country's growing on me... I'm a big fan of rock, oldies, electronic, hip hop, dance, and so on.

I love action movies (like Gladiator), comedies (think Mel Brooks), thrillers, fantasy & scifi (all the way back to Princess Bride and Willow), and dramas.

I can't stop reading. My current kick is "classics" that I never got around to reading in school, but my default books are mostly scifi and fantasy: C.S. Lewis, Terry Pratchett, Robert A. Heinlein, Douglas Adams

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The thing I like most about life is that it just keeps getting better and more interesting. But probably one of the strangest experiences in my life was being chased through a forest area in South Africa by a big bull elephant in musth. The punk.

THAT will get your heart pumping ; )
