CURRENT MISSION

Living on an island, working at a restaurant, driving for Uber/Lyft, writing when I can. I hosted quite a bit in the past in DC and plan to start hosting again. Excited to meet new people in/around Charleston!

ABOUT ME

I like meeting people from all over the world, exchanging ideas, opinions, viewpoints. I try not to take life or myself too seriously...it's a work in progress. Life is short, be happy!

PHILOSOPHY

Be nice, have compassion, stay positive, learn, enjoy life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have really love participating as both host and guest; at the moment not really able to host but I am definitely down for coffee and a chat...I'll write you a poem :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have been involved with CS since summer 2013 after hearing about it through friends who have had great experiences. So far I've participated as a host and attending a couple local HH events.

Interests

I love hanging with friends, pandering to my entitled dog, writing, music, movies, traveling, languages, teaching, reading, learning, having fun.

Anything Swedish is OK by me. Except for pickled herring.

Music, Movies, and Books

Film -- not a lot of movies I don't enjoy but particularly love 80's comedies, Coen Brothers, thrillers, action, drama, etc.

Music -- pretty much any/all aside from country. All-time faves include Marley, Zeppelin, Dead, Bowie. Recently getting into EDM-ish music, faves so far are Ghost Beach, Penguin Prison, Hey Champ.

Books -- Stieg Larsson, good nonfiction, anything in Swedish.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in Sweden for a year was pretty awesome. I learned how much I didn't know and how much the world had to offer. I am excited to get abroad again soon, it's been a couple years too long.

Teach, Learn, Share

Wanna learn Swedish, Spanish or how to raise a spoiled dog? I may be able to help. Wanna talk about places to visit, ideas for writing a book/screenplay, a new business, a volunteer activity, a social gathering? Game on!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Fun, positive times, a good location, good food (tho we might have to order), kind vibes and herb, an entitled chocolate dog.
