CURRENT MISSION

I am a PhD Student. I travel a lot for research, but also have my own pad in Bloomington. Searching out exciting things and people

ABOUT ME

I am a friendly American who feels very at home in Britain, where I lived for a year and a half doing PhD research. I love gardening and cooking, and walking in the countryside, with a good pint to celebrate. Especially of cider and perry and elderflower wine. I've worked in orchards, vineyards, wineries, and cider farms.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone has a story, and listening is a gift.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I often travel for research work and look for places to stay during these ventures. I may be able to host someone if I am at my home.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch-surfed only a little, but I have been WWOOfing quite a bit as well and have loved it.

兴趣

I love trying new foods, especially local cheeses. I'd really like to learn to play the melodeon, but I haven't found the time yet. For the moment, I love listening to folk music. I'd also like to learn to dance flamenco and tango, and I can salsa pretty well with a good partner. Walking, gardening, and reading. And just sitting back with friends and chatting!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Recently, I cylced around the Aran Islands with my friend Gabi - a pilgrimage to the place that inspired folklorist and playwright John Millington Synge. Always interesting to go seek out the places that inspire the life of the mind. It was a miraculously sunny day to wander over a stony island in the Atlantic.
