I'm traveling around Europe for the foreseeable future!

I'm currently in Ireland and planning stops in Glasgow, Brussels, Hamburg, Berlin, Copenhagen, Malmo, Oslo, and hopefully Lisbon and somewhere in Italy...

I spend all my money on food and airfare, more or less. I'm learning to travel more slowly - to have another beer or cup of coffee before darting into a museum.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like trying to see places from a local perspective, and my hometown from someone else's

Interests

Hiking under trees.
Reading.
Being in water.
Trying new foods. Eating favorites 😁
Being someplace new.
Completely researching and thoroughly planning a trip, and then chucking half the plan when I get on the road.

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything goes these days as far as music - even a little country. Paul Simon, Fleetwood Mac and Flogging Molly are favorites.

Michael Crichton's Travels is an amazing book. I love picking up used copies so that I can just give one away when I recommend it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Blackwater rafting in Waitomo, New Zealand.

Also I brought coffee to Kevin Bacon once.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am great at sharing food! I want to try what you're having, so you can have some of mine. If you've got a yoga practice I'd love to share mine.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I cook a mean chicken tagine and make some badass cookies. I can talk travel all day long. And I'll buy you a beer. Or clean the bathroom! But not both.
