A recent transplant to Palm Springs, I am still adjusting to the polar opposite nature of Palm Springs, CA to Milwaukee, WI. I have perused the city as a walker, driver, passenger, and would enjoy sharing it with others. I am more interested in exploring the city by doing activities that are either free or moderately priced. I live downtown in a studio apartment that is not extravagant but enough--plus the complex has a pool and is really 10 minutes from a lot of amazing sights.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to meet new people and hopefully gain some meaningful friendships.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love new wave music, classical, Jazz, etc. Not a big listener to the music played on the radio today. Stuck in the past? Perhaps, but the musicians I enjoyed 30 years ago are either still touring or producing new music that is amazing. MOVIES: love horror, comedies, action, drama--a very eclectic taste. Really, my interests are all over the map.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't know if it is amazing, but I am pretty proud at earning my PhD at age 43....

Teach, Learn, Share

I can provide the novice with an interesting look at Palm Springs. Though still a newbie myself.
