Hi!

I've worked the last four years in art museums hanging art, 3D modeling the layout of the shows, working with artists, and solving technical problems with exhibits. I'm a notorious punner. I last lived in San Francisco, but now I'm moving across the country.I haven't traveled much as an adult but I'm hoping to change that.

Things I like:

Fixing things (amplifiers, cars, houses, clothes, furniture, bicycles)
Having my opinions challenged
A hot shower after long hikes
Solving a tricky puzzle
Tidying up after I've finished a projects (I love seeing the clear space)
Learning how other people live their lives.

Hobbies:

Cooking (I just got into pickling)
Bicycling
Seeing / playing live music
Wood-working
Eating weird food
Motorcycle trips, although I sold my bike for the move

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel more and would much rather meet someone interesting than stay in a hotel. I do a lot of ride-sharing and have loved meeting new people that way.

I'm traveling across the United States from California to Pennsylvania. I'm looking to make new friends and have good adventures during my travels.

Music, Movies, and Books

Everything, even country ;o)

I've played in bluegrass, rock, and punk bands since I was in High School.

I'm a Sci-Fi fiend. I love Stanislaw Lem, Philip K Dick, Pete Watts. My favorite non-fiction is Joan Didion.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't like to brag but I ate 11 tacos in one sitting once.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning. My life goals:

Learn to play the drums
Learn to sew a pair of pants from scratch
Make all my own furniture (I've made shelves, a bedframe, and desk so far)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to cook, don't make a mess, and like to tell stories.

Countries I’ve Visited

England, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Spain

Countries I’ve Lived In
