About Me

ABOUT ME

I like people, especially people who are fun or funny. I love films, good ones. And some bad ones. This could take some time...

I have a fondness for list-making. Some other things I like: high ceilings, elaborately decorated kleenex boxes, previews, old shirts, paintbrushes, polaroids, air hockey, individual boxes of chocolate soymilk with an extendable straw, interesting mustaches, juice, crunching pine cones, stapling things, records, claw foot bathtubs, rice, junkyards.

I'm not so thrilled about splinters and falling asleep in front of the tv.

PHILOSOPHY

"I don't mind what happens."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

You know, everything continues to amaze me on a daily basis.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could tell you a great pickup line in hebrew, the two best sushi places I've ever come across, how to cook some delicious vegan food, how to reduce light pollution, and how to say "milk" in russian. I could also teach you a little dance: salsa, merengue, african, and belly dancing. I also might still be able to teach you Cavallieri's principle, but it's been a while.
I want to learn german, portuguese, russian, asl,italian, and japanese. I want to learn more about religion, cultures, spaces and places, people and animals, and handwriting analysis.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Time and space, good conversation and company, and of course, food! I love cooking and I'm always happy to share a meal together :)

Countries I’ve Visited
