Overview
About Me
I'm a simple person who loves to be in nature, relaxing at a pub, and drinking a pint of something tasty. I'm a traveller and someone who likes to be on the go, and I'm currently living in the UK for most of the year.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm on couchsurfing to meet like-minded people, to share my city spaces with other people, and to meet interesting people on my travels.
Interests
Books, trees, old things, biking, environmentalism, language, maps, lists, good beer, dark roast coffee, dark cool woods, water.
I work as a volunteer bike mechanic at my local bike co-op, and love to bike tour or go for long day rides whenever weather and my schedule allows!

Music, Movies, and Books
I don't read a lot of novels these days, and I don't really watch movies. I play music, sing and play guitar, and that's what you'll find me doing most every evening for a little while. I like folky, melodic stuff. Currently have Neko Case's Middle Cyclone on repeat!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've survived the first two years of my PhD!
Teach, Learn, Share
I am happy to jam with musician folks, to talk about travels and life. I'd most prefer to stay with people and I can have a good chat with.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share my stories. I used to live and work in a hostel, and have many tales to tell! I am happy to cook my hosts dinner, so long as we have time.
