I love to find beauty in everyday experience... cooking, picnics, walks outside, architecture, chatting with strangers. I'm a constant explorer of place, culture, history. I do my best to opt out of consumerism and corporatism and I fit in really well in traditional places that foster bike-ability and walkability, great architecture, small shops, artisans, local food and craft, the arts, etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just quit my job in investing to take a year long "working sabbatical" en route to starting my own creative ventures company.
