I offer my apartment and cooking talents to interesting people, in hopes of making friends, gaining knowledge, and having adventures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My sister once accidentally cut off my nose with a shovel. Yeah, I know. "Accident" and "shovel" make you cringe. But my nose is fine, and the scars are pretty tiny.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a myriad of things I could share with you - how to bake a souffle, how to sew a blind stitch, how to change the tires on your bicycle, but the best thing I can offer is decent conversation and a positive mental attitude.
