I'm creative, spontaneous, analytical, and empathetic. I love meeting people, having adventures, and new experiences. I think I'm an ENFP, but I'm a pretty even split between Extrovert and Introvert these days, so don't feel the need to entertain me--I'm pretty adept at that myself.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

After working for 13 consecutive years fulltime, I decided I didn't want to put off experiencing my dreams anymore so I quit my job as a Creative Director in San Francisco began planning my escape.

In June I rode my bike from Seattle back to the San Francisco Bay Area, in August I went to Burning Man (for the third year), and at the end of September I began a van trip across the country, which is what brought me to Couchsurfing.

While a lot of my trip involves campgrounds, I'm looking for folks to stay with or driveways to park in around the urban centers I'm excited to visit.

Centres d'intérêt

Bicycling, motorcycling, travel, music (Hip Hop, Folk, Indie Dance stuff), the ocean, the forest, meditation & buddhism, hiking, camping, backpacking, coffee, beer, whiskey, dancing (usually by myself to the right music).

Recently I've been indulging a new passion for podcasts--a cross country road trip can be so educational thanks to Radiolab, The Moth and This American Life. <3

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

DJ'd a 500+ person naked dance party from my big speaker bike at Portland's World Naked Bike Ride. That was a memory to last a lifetime. ;)

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I can cook you a delicious vegetarian meal, help you get your bike working, and regale you with stories. I also have a hand coffee grinder and an aeropress, so I can brew you up a mean cup of coffee in the morning. ;) OH! And I love sending postcards, so you're assured some future correspondence from some wonderful locale. :D

I'm also a bridge builder--I relish the opportunity to help folks network. I've introduced many a best friend to one another.
