Lifelong learner interested in mostly everything. My cynicism can be quelled by laughter, good food, cats, or a nice tune. Or analyzing nice tunes. Music is the food of the soul.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting people through CS has given life to my travels and connected me to lifelong friends.

Interests

Cats, music (making + listening), cooking, art (only the right kind), hiking, going for long periods of time without burning my tongue, and so on.
