About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Collecting settings and characters.

ABOUT ME

Grew up in Maryland, on the Chesapeake. Went to school in Pennsylvania, close to where the Yellow Breeches runs into the Susquehanna. Discovered CS while traveling Europe after a semester in the canals of Oxford. Now I'm living in Seattle, a stone's throw from Lake Washington, doing restoration and hoping to get back into the Couchsurfing community.

PHILOSOPHY

Storytelling.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I'm getting into the Seattle community with CS and am free for coffee or a drink. Would love to travel again soon, and surf as I go.

Surfed in Amsterdam, Vienna and Padua. All fantastic times.
