CURRENT MISSION

Figure out what I can

ABOUT ME

I think I might be adventurous, but I'm still working out whether that's true. I read a lot and like talking to people. Some things make me talk fast and wave my arms, but if that happens, it means I like you.
Bill Nye, the science guy said, "Everyone you'll ever meet knows something you don't."

PHILOSOPHY

I don't know if I have one yet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have never hosted anyone and I've been hosted a few times and have really liked my time here.
I would like to host in the future once I move to Paris in the next year.

Music, Movies, and Books

I've been very into David Mitchell lately. Haruki Murakami, Eileen Chang, Haldor Laxness, Javier Marias, Clemens Meyer, tiny books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

lived with an aborigine tribe in Taiwan for three weeks - we hunted boar and fished in a river, but I caught none

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you how to fold paper cranes or make chocolate oatmeal cookies. I read a lot and can recommend some great movies and books. I'm a master at bedtime stories.
