CURRENT MISSION

making enough of a living at the work I enjoy & still have enough time and the means to play

ABOUT ME

Newlywed; it's much better the second time around. He's definitely a keeper.

PHILOSOPHY

If there's something you dream about, do it. You can make excuses, or you can make things happen. I prefer the latter.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love helping people find out what makes where I live really fun, especially if they have a sense of curiosity & adventure. We're currently housesitting in a historical home and have a guest bedroom with a queen bed. Short stays (a few days) only please, we like guests but we like our privacy, too. Alternative lifestyles welcome.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosting: several folks... from Australia, Denmark, Florida, Canada, Washington
Surfing: Australia, Canada and US

All excellent experiences!

音乐、电影和书籍

most favorite recent book: MiddleSex

music: like alternative rock, folk, not up on the latest as I mostly listen to NPR these days

I haven't watched tv for the last 9 years, though I do watch Lost downloaded on the computer & loved Six Feet Under on DVD and ma currently watching Mad Men, which I swear is straight out the pages of my college advertising textbooks.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

My 40th birthday I traveled alone in New Zealand & Australia, and did a bunch of action-adventure stuff, one of the highlights was tandem hang-gliding.

教，学，和分享

I enjoy cooking & teaching it, and have a lot of passion around my newfound profession of mediation. Also written for years and am not not as much taking it for granted as just something I do. I spent quite a few years working in corporate marketing, enough to still enjoy problem solving how to most effectively reach your customers.
