I love new places, people, and things (generally all new-to-me nouns), and a good cup of coffee. I like to explore new cities, to get lost and disoriented and find my bearings with only a map. I continually marvel at nature, and seek out places, music, and people that make me feel "infinite." I love going to concerts (typically indie rock), and like to dance. I love beer, especially stouts and porters and want to sample as many different kinds as I can. I tend to be quiet at first, but am incredibly interested in getting to know as many people as possible. I love to read, knit and sing bad karaoke.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I love connecting with others, especially when traveling. Getting to meet new people and learn about their city, country and life from them is one of my favorite things.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

One of my favorite things I've ever done was watch the sun set in the Red Square in Moscow, Russia, while wearing a fur hat (a Christmas gift for my dad that I got some pre-gift use out of), and red lipstick while drinking from a flask.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

If you want to learn how to knit I can definitely help. And I would love to learn useful words and phrases in the local language!
