CURRENT MISSION

To taste the world, especially by eating, and taking in all I can of the beauty and diversity there is.

ABOUT ME

I love molten brownies and eggs benedict, cobblestone streets and deserted beaches. I want to play more in deep snow. I like to think I have a good sense of humor and wit, and I much prefer asking questions than answering them, though I can go on about history and politics if anyone's interested.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to enjoy life and do good when you can. Take care of yourself and help care for others.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love seeing how people really live in a new place and have been lucky enough to be hosted by wonderful, friendly people. When I have a home base, I love to host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed on the couches of friends and family, and slept on an air mattress for years before graduating to a futon. I appreciate being able to see into people's lives by seeing where they live, and becoming a part of the daily routine and groove.

Interessi

buying, making, and eating food; travel (for the actual traveling via boat or train or plane, as well as exploring destinations), music (I like everything but rap, I like to sing and play piano, take in pretty much any live music), skiing (alpine and nordic), brewing and drinking beer, Sherlock Holmes, Roman history...

Musica, film e libri

Ahh, too tough to say! But I love Wayne's World and Triplets of Bellevue. Classical, jazz, rock. So many books mean so much to me, I count characters as friends.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

I hiked a part of the Great Wall of China, a spectacular construction and symbol and artifact, with beautiful mountain scenery. I also work in Antarctica.

Insegna, impara, condividi

I can share the inner-workings of the publishing world, much about music composition (courtesy of my husband), a love and skill for cooking, and willingness to try something you've always wanted to do. If you're passionate about something, I can't help but want to know more about it.
