CURRENT MISSION

Applying values to development

ABOUT ME

I'm hardworking, honest, and loyal. Friends have lovingly dubbed me 'Cerebral Paulsie' presumably for my love of good conversation and geeky tendencies. I have an insatiable thirst for knowledge, especially relating to geography, urbanism, and culture. I thoroughly enjoy exploring new places, trying new foods, drinks, and experiences. My husband and I are active folks who love to see the city and the world from different perspectives. Whether we are hiking, cycling, or just grabbing a coffee or beer somewhere new, we do our best to keep engaging and try new things.

PHILOSOPHY

"Wisdom beings in wonder" is my mantra.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf, host, and get drinks.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first began by co-surfing with my dear friend Robin. We stayed in New Haven and Montreal, both were awesome experiences with wonderful hosts and great conversations. I later backpacked Europe alone and connected with a wonderful network of hosts most of whom are still friends.
