ABOUT ME

I'm adventuresome and curious and love to learn new things, and visit new places, and meet new people. I'm patient and helpful and a good listener. I can be ready in a minute for anything. I'll try almost anything once.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS is a great concept: helping travelers meet locals, easing navigation into new territory for travelers, and bringing the world to locals.

Interests

I love: to explore new neighborhoods and cities; dining on eclectic cuisines (especially Asian); visiting museums and galleries; architecture; reading and research; biking (no lycra!), kayaking, and sailing; staying home to cook up a week's worth of food.
