ABOUT ME

I've come to terms with being a grown-up.

PHILOSOPHY

Less worrying, more living.
Less hesitating, more doing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I've mainly surfed, but am now finally hosting. In other words, my CS karma is being restored.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Mostly good ones. Amazing idea, well-run site. Good call.

Interests

Traveling, of course, reading, writing, growing food in my garden. I love beach volleyball.
I spend an alarmingly big chunk of my time worrying about the environment.

Music, Movies, and Books

A lot of music, a lot of books, a lot of movies. Mentioning one from each category would be hard, not to mention unfair to all the others within that same category. Charles Bukowski, however, deserves a shout-out.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I joined a volunteer group called American Conservation Experience, based out of Flagstaff, AZ and Santa Cruz, CA. I strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to meet foreigners. As an American, you will be a minority, without having to leave the country. Plus, you'll get to see amazing places while working to improve the ecosystem of the southwest. And to top it off - it's free for all you yanks.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can make a pun out of nearly anything. I'm good at hitting fungos. I make a wicked pesto.
