About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To become a renaissance woman, or failing that, an accomplished dabbler.

I don't like to talk about myself offhand.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm going to live forever, or I'll die trying.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A couple of years ago the marching band I played in (the Infernal Noise Brigade) toured Europe for a month. In each town we played in, there was a kind soul (or two) kind enough to let 30 loud, dirty, stinky people and all their gear crash at their place. They'd even feed us. I"m very grateful to those folks, and now that I can return the favor, I do.
