ABOUT ME

Love the outdoors and always welcome an opportunity to try something new. Quiet but not shy, fun but not wild. I get along with most people and can enjoy an afternoon in the company of all types.

PHILOSOPHY

Work hard but not too hard... Or something like that.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite movie is School of Rock with Jack Black! It was directed by Austin's own Richard Linklater.

Books- Nonfiction and classics. A Happy Death (Camus), A Tree grows in Brooklyn, and my Shakespear anthology are a few things I re-read often.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I treasure the little experiences about traveling to a new place. Talks over coffee with strangers, glances from elderly passers by, alarming sounds from nearby balconies; things that are foreign and profound, but only because I've never been here before.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you:
*how to play your favorite tune on almost any instrument
*how to enjoy karaoke without being drunk or having grown up in the 80's
*how to prepare a tax return, if you live in the U.S. (but let's not do that on vacation)

Please teach me:
*how to sing a song in your language
*how to make cider
*how to survive an attack from any poisonous/dangerous creatures that inhabit your area. I think I should know that if I will be coming to visit.
