I'm a writer. What can I say? I am a little bit insane...but in that endearing way where everything is just a little too fascinating and a little too heartbreaking. I write novels and poetry as well as cybercrime analysis for a cyber risk organization. I have a daughter who is three and a dog who is not three. Above all I respect kindness and compassion in others. I read more than anything else, writing is second, and fixing old antique typewriters would be my third major interest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting people and I like trying new places. I don't like paying thousands of dollars to do that.

Music, Movies, and Books

Oh this would take forever. I like 80's punk, punk pop, and big band music. Books pretty much anything except religious tomes and westerns. I am obsessed with the Beat Generation and read anything I can by and about them. I also love poetry including Tennyson and Poe. Movies wise I like everything except horror. I scare way too easily.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wow. I want to go with create another human being but that might not be what this system wants.

Second answer: Visit Jebudo Island in South Korea. It was amazing. We were trapped there after high tide (impassible as the water covers the bridges) and spent the weekend eating amazing food and howling at the moon.

Writing tips and stories. Military adventures and travel stories. Chocolate because I always have some of that.
