Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Call Me By Your Name, Little Miss Sunshine, Alphaville, Thelma & Louise
Books: I really like Murakami despite his blatant sexism. I think I admire his good taste in music and moments and his sound life advice.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rode a quad bike through the rolling hills of Scotland shepherding sheep with Meg the border collie.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share travel stories, teach you sailing knots (I'm also learning), or practice yoga together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a watercolor painter and can offer postcards of my paintings
