CURRENT MISSION

To make the world simultaneously smaller and more interesting

ABOUT ME

I'm finally getting around to doing to the travelling I've always desired. I haven't much experience, but I make up for that with a lot of enthusiasm. I intend to make fewer plans, and just listen to my whims a little more.

PHILOSOPHY

Sometimes, it's best to make your decisions based off of how good a story it'll make when you're retelling it.

I did say "sometimes."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Offer up couches and meet surfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met up with a couchsurfer in Sydney to play trivia with two other surfers she was hosting. I did very poorly (I know nothing aboutAustralian sports), but I had a wonderful time. Great people.

Interests

I enjoy many types of music, good books, and better conversation. I also practice martial arts, like biking, and spending time writing. Beyond that, I love a good board game or trivia. If you happen to have bar trivia in your area, I'd love it if you could point me in the correct direction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This is kind of silly, but I'm really pleased that I had an opportunity to go North of the Arctic Circle when I was visiting my brother in Alaska. It was Summer, and we certainly got the full 24 hours of sunlight.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have kind of a mis-mash of skills and experiences. I can fix computers, teach how to write a short story, or teach you to defend yourself. I even know a few tricks in the kitchen.
