CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME
Just moved to San Diego for work. Depending on funding, I’ll be here for a few months or quite a while longer.

I play guitar and sing - especially when there's people to play with. I like to write, run, hike, and talk late into the night.

"Be kind, for everyone is fighting a hard battle."

I enjoy all philosophies and the discussion thereof.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I've hosted in the past, and would like to do so in the future. I lived for a short while in Osnabrück, Germany, and visit DE as much as I can. I sometimes wonder if I'll ever capture the feeling at home that I get when I'm traveling. I hope so.

I'm on couchsurfing so that I can travel and really get a feel for the places I stay. Hotels are so artificial - people on couchsurfing actually plug you into the place. I want to enable other people to travel the way that couchsurfing has allowed me to.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

I think I'll have to answer this more quietly than most. Much of the last ten years for me has been full of questioning everything I learned growing up. So, even though I've not done any amazing climbs or accomplished almost any of my loftiest goals, I can say that I've gone from being hyper-religious to being very progressive and open-minded. If you've seen the movie "Jesus Camp," or watched Bill Maher's "Religulous," you can imagine me as any one of the crazy cult children in the film - that's where I came from.

It left a lot of marks, but I think I've come out to the other side relatively intact.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I want to learn Italian, German
and windsurfing

I'm currently getting into Elixir and neural nets - happy to talk about those.

I can teach cooking, some guitar, English.

Чем я могу поделиться с хостами

I'm a good cook - I like to cook simple, healthy, often vegetarian dishes.
I can play guitar and sing for entertainment (not necessarily good entertainment. Just entertainment.)
Lots and lots of stories of America!
