My favorite smell in the world is that of virgin forest topsoil. I once had a cat named Susan who would sit perched on my arm for hours on end - like a parrot to his sailor.

I think human beings are the world's best subjects for photography: we wear such an array of expressions, colors, shapes, and textures. Love them or hate them, human beings never just "are".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to learn from people who are specialists in one thing or another...

If you're a blogger - tell me about sharing your story with the world.
If you're an astronaut - tell me about the cosmos.
If you're a chef - teach me the art of combining flavors.

And if aren't a blogger, astronaut, or chef - I have no interest in hearing from you! ;)
