CURRENT MISSION

To do some mad Goethe-tracking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Come to Carrboro (or New Haven in Connecticut, where I spend most of the year) and I will take you on a whirlwind tour of plaster rhino sculptures, organic produce, and PopEyes Chicken franchises.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can (and will) teach you how to sew. It takes very little time to learn, but once you know how to make your own clothes (from scratch or from repurposed old ones), the world is much cheaper and more sustainable!

Also (tangentially), I know how to make low-budget hoop skirts. You would be surprised how useful this skill is.
