About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Should I choose to accept it?

ABOUT ME

I can remember standing at the top of a mountain overlooking the Aegean Sea trying to take a picture that would capture the beauty of what I saw. It was impossible. No matter what, something had to be left out. Likewise, no paragraph can capture who I am. Something always gets left out.

PHILOSOPHY

A life lived in fear is never really lived at all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've participated in a couple of local CS events. I always enjoy meeting new people - even if I haven't had the chance to surf or host a surfer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I joined CouchSurfing awhile ago, but kind of fell away from it for awhile as work and other things kept me busy. I'd like to get more involved now that I seem to have much more free time.

Interests

Reading, Traveling, telling stories, learning foreign languages, going to the orchestra, hanging out with friends.
