I love to find the off-the-beaten-path experiences in a place that you can't find anywhere else, or that you wouldn't think to look for. I am more interested in experiences than sights or souvenirs, and I'm drawn to the strange.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I want to get a depth of experience when I travel, not just the tourist-level. I want to know what's real, what's strange, what's hidden, what's unexpected, as well as what's unique about everywhere I go. I often travel alone but that doesn't mean I don't want to meet people! It also helps out when I am traveling on a tight budget, which is always.

I hope that someday soon I will have a place where I can host people as well; however, for now that's not possible.

音乐、电影和书籍

I love oldies/classic rock and contemporary folk-rock. I'm currently going through a David Bowie & Patti Smith phase, which may or may not ever end. I say my favorite novel is American Gods by Neil Gaiman and my favorite movies are Fight Club and Pulp Fiction, but the truth is I could never pick accurately so I just have to pick one I love and say it. Every time I try to start a list of other must-mentions, I can't make it end. Feel free to ask, though!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Entering the Mayan underworld at Actun Tunichil Muknal in Belize was one of my favorites. Also waking up and pulling the cloak from my face to stare at the ceiling of Caerphilly Castle.

教，学，和分享

Yes, please! I am working on learning Dutch and embroidery most actively, but hope to learn a lot of unexpected things by traveling.

I'm still figuring out what I can teach. I can certainly explore the constant question of what a dramaturg does, share some freegan and couponing tips, maybe help out with English.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Conversation, adventures, stories, experiences. My perspective and an interest in yours. English skills? Editing? Research? I love sharing the things I love (music, books, movies, etc.) with other people and recommending things based on what they like. I can cook a bit, and am glad to help out wherever I can. I can hand-sew. I'm a great extreme couponer and bargain hunter in the US, but in the process of figuring out how to transfer those skills to the nomadic life in Europe.
