CURRENT MISSION

Pay attention to life

ABOUT ME

I love traveling (surprise surprise ), animals, tea, and being spontaneous. I'm very easygoing and flexible. I'm not very good at describing myself. If I were a pie I would be strawberry-rhubarb. If you are good enough to let me use your couch I will be a proper guest, I promise!

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone should smile more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As soon as I have a place of my own, my couch will be open to couch-surfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet, but I am looking forward to having stories.

Interests

I love movies, literature, food, the theater, and seeing new places. I'm happy doing most things. To relax I take long walks and generally end up lost, which is the way I like it. You find more places that way.

Music, Movies, and Books

Far too many to list. I love all kinds of movies, especially historical dramas, romantic comedies, and action flicks. My academic focus is 19th century British literature. I also enjoy series by Dick Francis, Anne Perry, Clive Cussler, Elizabeth Peters, and P.G. Wodehouse. Music tastes are broad, including classical and classic rock.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Cherry Blossom Festival in Narita was amazing!

I can program a VCR. Hey, it's a skill.
