CURRENT MISSION

Have a huge garage sale if this rain ever lets up

ABOUT ME

Travel cooking shows were designed with people like me in mind. Local cuisine is definitely the highlight of any trip. As an American it is always been interesting to see how we are percieved worldwide as well as the validity of our first-world, western outlook.

I work in one of the best seafood stores in Seattle to pay the bills.
I once "borrowed" something from a church so I guess you could say that I'm irreverent (Please! like the Pope can't afford it?). I live with my significant other of seven years,two cats, and 5 goldfish (don't worry, it's a sealed tank!).

PHILOSOPHY

"Expect the unexpected
and whenever you can,
BE the unexpected."
-Lynda Barry
---Which is funny because I am probably the most predictable person I know. I like warmth and a full stomach, but I really admire people who have toughed it out and let the next adventure take priority.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am offering a couch for 1-2 folks for 1-2 nights, maybe more.

Interests

Cooking, drawing, reading, music (mostly listening, sometimes attempting to play).
