CURRENT MISSION

If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it.

ABOUT ME

I like good conversation, even better: good conversation over good food and wine. Coffee.
I value thoughtfulness and taking care, and enjoy taking my time and lingering over good things.
I like finding my way in a new place and dipping into a mountain stream. I tend to revisit places I like.

PHILOSOPHY

Look for challenges, watch the change of seasons, listen to people

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted and surfed and got to know some people through CS, very positive experience, looking forward to more.

Interests

Argentine tango - I am hoping to visit some milongas around the world. Also, the architecture and lifestyle of the 20s and 30s of the last century. Design. Visiting second-hand, vintage and antique shops, flea markets and museum shops. Mountain-hiking. Cooking and watching people cook. Yoga. And Simon's cat ;-))
