I'm a snowboarding - pie making - book reading - saag paneer eating - adventurist. I love a good dare. I love big cities as much as the countryside. I've never owned a car, but I have a tandem bike and a canoe that folds up in a giant bag.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to be pretty active on this site, but not so much anymore. Life takes interesting turns and priorities change. But I still think the premise of this site is awesome and I encourage others to do it. All my travels that involved couchsurfing were made more special by staying/visiting with locals.

Interests

Bicycles, ethnic foods, ridiculous youtube videos, bonfires, ice cream, beautiful places, canoes, daydreaming, other people's pictures and taking my own. I also love a good pun.

Music, Movies, and Books

Haruki Murakami, Timothy Findley, Radiohead, Stevie Wonder...I like getting recommendations from other people and doing MP3 exchanges.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got lost in the Japanese Alps overnight with a friend. It was the most terrifying thing I've ever experienced.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you that if you're in France and you think you're buying mint toothpaste, you might end up with something tasting more like black licorice. This is more of a warning.
