Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Starting out slow with coffee, drinks, and greeting folks visiting East Side of Seattle. Will consider surfers, but we are far from Seattle.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Hope to meet up with folks during Music Festivals this year.
Interests
Music (playing and listening), photography, reading and writing, skiing, travel, and meeting people from around the world. In wonder watching my children grow, including listening to my son Ceeg tell me about his CS experiences from France to Turkey and beyond, and my daughter Marin tell me about high school.
