About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to pet a whaleshark

ABOUT ME

I spend a lot of time nurturing my inner child. Actual children seem like too much work.

I will laugh at almost anything...the TV show Friends is one of the few exceptions. I just don't get it.

PHILOSOPHY

Thinking you understand the world is the surest sign that you don't.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hopefully attending some events.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first formal CS experience was last December: I had a job interview in London, but since I'd just been traveling I had no money. Plus I wanted a more local view of the city since I might end up living there (which I am now). Although I was nervous at first, it turned out to be incredibly fun.

Interests

any activity in the water, indie gigs, used books, farmer's markets, ultimate frisbee, grocery shopping, riding cycling, and anything that a 10 year old child enjoys (tag, carnivals, moonbounces, trampolines, ball pits etc.)

Music, Movies, and Books

Reading is one of my favorite things to do. Anything fiction, and good science fiction. I also really like Truman Capote, Jerzy Kosinski, Oscar Wilde.

I like most music outside country, but my favorite music to listen to is in the Pinback, Deathcab for Cutie, Nada Surf, the Weepies type of category.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've trained dolphins...which was amazing but I was very disappointed to discover they don't make that same noise you hear in every movie with dolphins.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've always wanted to learn how to do a back flip from a standstill.

Things I can teach you: how to toss pizza dough, and anything you want to know about dolphins.

Countries I’ve Visited

Andorra, Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, Switzerland

Countries I’ve Lived In

New Zealand, United Kingdom, United States
