I am a chef/social services worker in Seattle, WA. This means I work with a program that teaches people to cook as a way to re-integrate into the workforce. It's very fulfilling and challenging. Outside of work, I still a ton of other cooking and baking, in addition to cycling, playing basketball, and generally surrounding myself with other wonderful people and art.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people. I first experienced this kind of network via warmshower.org (which specifically caters to people touring countries on bike), and decided to branch out to couchsurfing, which is a much more expansive community.

Music, Movies, and Books

Currently I've just read 4 books:

City of 100 fires (blanco)
Are You My Mother? (bechdel)
The Diaries of Adam and Eve (Twain)
In My Skin (Griner)

Also, I am currently up on (or close to caught up on) The Walking Dead, Chew, and Crossed, if you like graphic novels.

Movies aren't a major thing I care about except the horror genre.

Music I've been enjoying lately includes Chance, Childish Gambina, Postmodern Jukebox, a lot of indie, and some Rage Against the Machine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Biked across most of the continental US.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make better scrambled eggs.

I love to learn all things new and interesting, but especially if you're passionate about it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A couch to sleep on, a shower to use, and probably a couple meals and conversations.
