I've moved! Am no longer in my legendary apartment in the center of Seattle, but in Bremerton, a beautiful ferry trip away from downtown Seattle. You'll likely get a quicker and more favorable response from me if you use the word "hippocampus" in your request message :) Also, speakers of German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Russian and Italian: I love getting requests in your mother languages. I've got a head full of great memories of hosting amazing humans from all over the world (over 1100 people from 2004 - 2013 when I stopped hosting regularly). So even though I'm probably too busy to be the Ultimate Host anymore, I do enjoy hosting travelers when I get the chance. So go ahead and request... I just might be able to put you up for a night 3 or more in my cozy little house in the quiet seaside town. If we're lucky, I might have time to accompany you on an adventure, but most of the time I'm too busy to hang out. I run a small business in central Seattle, and also spend much of my time in the city rehearsing and performing in theatre.
