I used to have 1935 Craftsman metal lathe next to my bed which seemed a bit strange to my friends who would remark "why is there a lathe in your bedroom?" . my reply would be "No, I happen to have a bed in my machine shop" . I ended up selling the lathe a few years ago but I'm lucky to see work and life as one continuous intertwined thing.

I create kinetic sculpture and make animated films, teach animation, draw, take my Puerto Rican sled dog out for walks and when inspired, cook elaborate noodle dishes. I can also be found playing ukulele on alternate Wednesday's at my local sandwich shop.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'm in the process of planning my first big solo trip in about a decade. I love the idea of traveling solo, but being fairly social, would like to have the opportunity to meet other like-mined people and share experiences and stories.

兴趣

Other than mentioned, animated and experimental films, typography, graphic design, waffles, old motorcycles (especially British iron ) punk rock, hip hop, Louis Armstrong, captain beefheart, Lou reed, cactus flowers, pho, dogs, cats, welding, teaching, black lives matter, old rusty machinery, drawing, sketching painting, swimming, long aimless walks, I like the idea of roller coasters but I don't do well on them. love yoga and dancing, public transportation, paper maps, teaching, my local library and book groups (The Cambridge public library rocks!). Classic Vespa motor scooters and summer dresses.
