Why I’m on Couchsurfing

heard good things.

the travel bug is contagious, and it's interesting to see a community of people working to make traveling sustainable.

the emphasis on sharing ideas and encouraging each other is inspiring and refreshing

Music, Movies, and Books

movie - Lost in Translation
music - any motown song you can dance to
books - too difficult to choose just one....lingering favorites are NW, by Zadie Smith, The World According to Garp, by John Irving, Mother Night, by Vonnegut, and I have a soft spot for Gifts, by Ursula K. Leguin

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Absconded from a felon in the jungles of Belize (bad woofing experience turned into a great opportunity to travel on a budget....if only I'd known about couch surfing back then)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach....japanese cooking!
origami
French or English

I find myself mostly wanting to learn local languages and recipes these days.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Will cook of course!
