About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Swim in as many oceans/lakes/rivers/as possible

ABOUT ME

I am pretty excited about most things...I try to laugh and say yes to as many things as possible. I love quiet moments outdoors as much as rooftop beers in the middle of the city. Few things make me happier than a great conversation.

PHILOSOPHY

Ridiculous!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've now surfed and hosted, and enjoyed both.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing has brought me to soviet apartment blocks in St. Petersburg and a house of French fire jugglers in Hanoi, what more could I ask for?

Interests

I'm always looking for new ones, so suggestions are welcome...

Otherwise, I love knitting things for adults that come out baby sized, snow, horseback riding, skiing, reading, talking, being on trains and boats, keeping houseplants alive but on the brink of death, cooking and baking, being taught things by savvy people and sending and receiving mail.
