I like stuff more than things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I spent my twenties traveling and backpacking and meeting lots of new people. Entering my thirties I got a little too comfortable and enjoyed my own company in more comfortable environments. I’ve realized I need to push myself more back into doing things I used to live for. Minus the cheap vodka and pasta and red sauce meals at hostels of yore.

Music, Movies, and Books

Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. The trilogy in four parts. The book, definitely not the movie.

Fantastic Planet, Land Before Time, Howls Moving Castle, Adventures in Babysitting, Stepbrothers, Death Proof, Toy Story, The Shining.

Music wise I'm an eclectic little ball of weirdness. My spotify can play anything from Soca (thanks to 6 years in the Caribbean) to Nathan Fake type EDM, cheesey 80s synth pop (OMD never gets old), 90s rock, Teskey Brothers, Amos Lee, Chemical Brothers, The Smiths, Prince, Gui Boratto, Leftfield, 2Many Djs, The Ramones, and lots and lots of old soul like Al Green, Etta James, James Car, Otis.... the list goes on depending on my mood, surroundings and what I'm currently drinking...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Broke out of my comfort zone and moved abroad alone for 3 months which turned into 10 years of wandering and discovering. Recently became stuck in a rut, so braving the outside walls of my comfort, alone once again.

Teach, Learn, Share

Wanna get over your fear of sharks? I gotchu.

Increase your repertoire of dad jokes? Gotchu again.

Have taught English in the past and happy to converse with anyone to help them get more comfortable speaking in every day conversations.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cheese. Both the food and the verbal content. A mature whiskey palate. Lots of random facts, and lots of wild stories from a misspent youth.
