Hi! I am a teacher and bicycle tourist. I love photography, riding bikes, and travel-- usually in combination!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing before my bike trip from Portland to Los Angeles and used it to find hosts in various towns along the Pacific Coast. I use CS or WarmShowers whenever I need a place to crash on a bicycle tour.

I'm finally able to return the hospitality in my own home, so please... be our guest!

Interests

Most of my free time, I read, listen to music, play video games, or daydream in wanderlust. I like to write, think, and create. I like to drink tea, coffee, and beer and talk.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music- hip hop, punk, classical, trip hop, jazz, folk, Michael Jackson...... I like it all.

Books- avid, avid reader. I switch off between fiction, non-fiction, young adult (for the kiddos), and poetry.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, I biked solo from Portland to Los Angeles, and I've also helped inner city teenagers discover that poetry is cool. I can't tell which is the bigger achievement!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook meals, bring booze (if wanted), I'm tidy and respectful of space and privacy. I can share my thoughts and knowledge and feelings on a variety of experiences and topics. If you're into that.
