Why I’m on Couchsurfing

- Looking to connect with interesting people when they visit my area! I haven’t been doing much travel lately, so it’s fun to do it vicariously through you!

Music, Movies, and Books

All over the place! I like all kinds of live music, especially bluegrass, country, and gospel :)

Love reading. Especially enjoy history and biography. Recent good read: Fyodor Dostoevsky's "The Idiot"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Had dinner with the Japanese royal family

What I Can Share with Hosts

- Goodwill, gratitude, a small gift as token of thanks; if you have a guitar I can also play you a song, badly
