Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING We have hosted some fun, fascinating people! COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE We couch surfed for two weeks in Japan in March 2009, and found the experience fantastic. All three hosts were wonderful, generous, informative, and fun.
Music, Movies, and Books
Classical music, 1491, A history of God, The Fabric of the Cosmos, 1776, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Movies: anything thoughtful, original and well acted. We like the indie movie theater in town for non-mainstream movies.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
We have rock climbed in many places around the USA and the world, most recently in Morocco and Cuba. I have conducted most of the great classical pieces for chorus and orchestra.
Teach, Learn, Share
We love and collect art.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Food, experiences, local rock climbing, trout fishing, and conversation.
My Interests
Our interests: Traveling the world, music, interior design, rock climbing, gardening, philosophy, education, science, art, indie movies, knitting, scuba diving. We like to talk politics, although it is especially painful to discuss the current US president and his administration.
