About Me

I like birding, walking, riding a bicycle when its warm enough, reading, coffee, cooking, listening to people, learning about anything and everything!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I can I want to host people or at least meet up for a cup of coffee! Occasionally we need to to travel to place where we don't know people already and love to see if we can meet some new people via Couchsurfing.

I have been able to couchsurf via friends of friends--it's always such a neat experience to meet people and be touched by the generosity and openness of others.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love live music most, anyone who is out there playing their music is doing something spectacular. If I am listening to music on my own then any genre could be playing depending on what I'm doing(yay 8tracks, spotify and youtube playlists!) I am currently listening to lots of random portuguese music (all genres) to immerse as much as I can in the language.
Back in the day when I had a car: Music in the car: NPR, one of the 40 CDs I haven't taken out of my car since 2003, Cafe Tacuba, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs and Radiohead will be on permanent rotation, as will all local/independent/college radio stations.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching chickens peck and scratch; no joke, they are awesome.

Teach, Learn, Share

Cooking!
Talking about sociological type things: particularly environmental things and things on inequality(gender, race, etc).
Searching for things (jobs or apartments! I get hypnotized and love doing both for myself and others!)
Random things on how to fix household problems in the home: I'll help you McGuiver a solution!

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can swap stories, cook together, build a puzzle, plan a project, or do anything. I love listening to people and typically if I hear there is something you're interested in or puzzling over, I will try to puzzle with you. (I am not sure what this category was trying to get at exactly, but perhaps see "Teach, Learn, Share"!)
