CURRENT MISSION

Try different stuff. Learn all I can. Enjoy living.

ABOUT ME

Almost always willing to meet up and go somewhere fun to do whatever. I'm pretty easygoing. I've been to a lot of places, so I love to share travel stories.
While I don't think of myself as having many good stories, get me talking and I'm sure I can come up with something. And if alcohol is involved, who knows? It might be true!

PHILOSOPHY

No tried-and-true written down philosophy. Most of the time I seem to live by the seat of my pants. It gets me where I need to be, so it might be Zen, or it might be the Synchronicity Freeway.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
NEW HOUSEMATE!! NOT CURRENTLY HOSTING, BUT WILLING TO MEET! I'm reasonably knowledgeable about my hometown and can give a pretty good tour. Sometimes I can show off some little-known spots,

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have shown some great people around my town. I could use some work as a tour guide, but I try and do my best! Met some wonderfully friendly people that let me borrow their couches in various parts of the world; Thank you all! There are some truly good people on this site! Have run into some less share-minded people that seem to abuse it, but luckily very few.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a very big movie fan. A movie has to be pretty bad for me to pan it completely. I'll usually find some redeeming quality to it- cinematic angles, actors trying to overcome bad script, writers trying to bypass bad acting. Foreign and indy? Bring it on!
Pretty eclectic music-wise. But I'm finding I have less tolerance for stuff thats badly done. I will walk away from live music very easily if I think it stinks. Alternately, I've stopped into places just based on what I heard inside. New Orleans- I'm thinking of you! I appreciate a good busker.
Currently enjoying Charles de Lint, Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Christopher Moore, China Mieville, James Robinson, Virginia Woolf,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming with dolphins. A mirage of part of Prague floating over the rest of the city supported by clouds. Skydiving. Newborns.

"There are no ordinary moments."

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach games. Came here from Boardgamegeek.com, so I love to play and enjoy teaching new games to people. Trying to study language. Like to cook, love to eat. Do yoga a bit.
I've been lucky in showing some visitors to the area some fun things, and not gotten too lost. A tiny bit of local history got stuck in my brain and I can share it with said visitors. Don't expect a really good tour though, it's just whatever we are fortunate to find! You'll hear a lot of "I think this is over here somewhere.."

What I Can Share with Hosts

A curiosity for anything you'd like to show or share about your home town. I will usually have at least one game with me. I like a good conversation while enjoying food, or a beverage or two.
