CURRENT MISSION

Take a wild tangent while on my current mission.

ABOUT ME

I live in Bilbao. American, honorary Catalan.

PHILOSOPHY

"Never go with a hippie to a second location."

"It has been observed that all Americans need a frontier..."

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf and would like to host, but I always seem to live in places no one visits.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Once or twice. Aching to do more, but live on a tight budget.

Интересы

I like electronic music and jam bands and go to lots of concerts. It's a pastime. Also into art, cooking (I can make some mean Southern, Italian, and Catalan food) and drinking wine or beer while cooking. The first place I go wherever I am is the museum, art or otherwise. I like the outdoors but mainly just hiking. In the winter I ski. I haven't missed a season in 20 years.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

I've seen 23 years of my life which is pretty amazing considering.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I majored in art history so I know a bit about that but am still woefully ignorant. I speak serviceable Spanish and Catalan. Enough to teach a novice. I can always share some wine with someone. And my roommate says I play a good country song on the guitar, but its the only one I know and I play very badly.
