CURRENT MISSION

Working on the next few steps of all the current steps. Maybe grad school for writing. Hoping to travel somewhere warm soon!

ABOUT ME

I have a cat that looks like a lynx; I recently found the perfume that I'll be wearing the rest of my life; I like some red wine and cigarettes in moderation (I'm getting old!); some good books in a less moderated fashion; I swim; I've gotten a little more reserved, but maybe, for that, the more genuine when meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY

To every season, turn, turn, turn-

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've couchsurfed in England and Italy mostly. Have met some seriously cool people that I still think about often. Now that I'm living in a nice old house with some friends, I can finally loan a couch out!

Interests

I used to be interested in everything... for a while I thought I should have been born a secret agent because they are, obviously, experts at all things. However, I was not, and while I've had a lot of great experiences, as times goes on I've learned you only have so much time.

But I do write... that's more of a life-threatening condition than an interest. I'm interested in the outdoors, walking and looking around. Lately I've discovered a keen interest in party-planning or making special occasions out of a few little touches. I made my own fortunes for new year's and once had a birthday party where I made a ROOM-SIZED TENT (with scarves) INSIDE!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once helped rescue someone who fell off a mountain.

Hmmm, oh, this says only one.

Teach, Learn, Share

You get into the best swimming rhythm when you're not concerned with keeping your head close to the surface.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some chill hang time, thoughtful conversation, cigarettes (or not, no worries!), personalized film/movie rec's, and heartfelt thanks!
