About Me

CURRENT MISSION

discipline my body, to defeat those evil machines

PHILOSOPHY

Be open minded and humble and remember to recognize all the things in the the world that you do not know.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to meet new people and hear about where they've been, what they've seen and done. I have a comfortable couch, so I'm happy to host when I can, and I hope the favor will be returned when I'm on the road! (and it has been - so many times!)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In NYC we hosted a lovely couple from Portugal once, and a woman from Brussels working for the UN. That was my introduction to CS and then my sister and I stayed with amazing, spirited, generous people across the US on our Trans Am bike tour! (Adam, we love you!). In Bellingham we had several CSers over the years. A good time was a group of cyclists who camped in the yard/garage (cyclists everywhere!) and they took my sister and I out to a big dinner at Boundary Bay brewery as the kick off event to their tour =)
