I'm a quiet, introverted, computer nerd learning to get out of my comfort zone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I actually joined to help a friend check it out. Now that I'm here, I think I might stay and see where this takes me!

Interests

I like writing boring, technical stuff. I'm taking a creating writing class so I can bore people more creatively.

• writing
• cooking
• baking
• vegan

Music, Movies, and Books

I love almost any kind of music, except most country music. Some of my favorites are some oldies like Al Green, James Taylor, James Brown, Led Zepplin, but I also like newer music like Cloud Cult, James Vincent McMorrow, Iron & Wine, Porcupine Tree, and Sigur Ros t read much non-fiction anymore. When I did I loved Ursula LeGuin, Frank Herbert, and other social science fiction authors.

I like movies that make me think and feel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I've ever done was to have three sons that have grown up to be awesome men. The other amazing thing that I have done recently is to finally start taking care of MY self, got a divorce, and figuring out how to be.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't know that I have many transferable skills to share. I do a lot of group organizing and as an introverted thinker I can be extremely patient, with other people that is. I'm an excellent listener!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a pretty good cook. I'm personally an omnivore but cook a pretty good vegan meal after learning to cook for one of my sons who is vegan. I love to bake bread, from scratch, in the oven! There is nothing like bread baking in the oven.

I'm a great listener--tell me your troubles.
