After two years as a Peace Corps volunteer in Namibia, I'm settling back into the USA. I love Philadelphia! And a whole lot of other things, too.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I'd love to travel deep and wide, but if I had to choose one I'd go deep: i.e., settle into one place and get to know it -- and especially its people -- well. So I'd prefer to meet local folks and see their area from their perspective, instead of getting tourist-agency approved tips from a hotel concierge. As a recently-returned Peace Corps volunteer, I'm also interested in saving some of my dwindling supply of money!
Music, Movies, and Books
Treat Her Right, Ella Fitzgerald, Old 97's, Zach Pietrini and so many more; My Beautiful Launderette, Wonder Woman, The Crying Game and so many more; Kaye Gibbons, Infinite Jest, Adrienne Rich, this list could go for about ever.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Spent two years as a Peace Corps volunteer in Namibia, although it really doesn't feel amazing. Lots of people seem to think it is, though.
Teach, Learn, Share
A nascent interest in Quakerism? A couple of playlists?
What I Can Share With Hosts
Wasn't that the last question? Anyway, a nascent interest in Quakerism (it arose from the mystic religious tradition(s)!), a couple of playlists, some extremely basic bellydance techniques. I can and happily will bake bread from scratch without a machine or recipe.
