I like stories. I'm a writer and traveler for that reason. My idea of small talk is not what most people call small. I dive right in. The world has enough walls, am I right?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people, of course! To learn their stories. Maybe write them into a work of fiction someday.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have a scar on my right leg from grazing it for like half a second on the hot, hot engine of a motorbike. Does that count as amazing?

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm an English teacher! So I'm always up for language exchange. But mostly I want to share stories. And recipes!
