About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Neuchâtel, thermal baths, and raquettes de neige

ABOUT ME

A denizen of Portland, Oregon for the last five years, this coffee-slinger (Stumptown), free-lance writer (The Mercury, etc), gallery-goer and bike lover is living in Besançon until returning (?) to the States for a master's in art history.

PHILOSOPHY

"It's not that far, is it?"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Besançon is three hours east of Paris and one hour west of Switzerland. For the moment I have a room available--the bed sleeps one (unless you're cozy), but the floor sleeps maybe two more.

Interests

Art, wine, cooking, walks, books, movies, mountains, coffee, swimming, hem-lines and fabric, pretty paper, coast-to-coast, the intimate thrall of petit concerts
