About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Was: taking the long way between points a and b
Now: to see the possibilities in problems and to help people connect the dots to solve them themselves

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like people...I like hearing stories. I like talking (though I also know the joy of being a great listener)
I am always learning. I am never bored.
I love finding 'the local' feeling of thr neighborhood. ..I can only learn this from you.
I like to cook for others, I like to give tiny but significant gifts.
