CURRENT MISSION

To understand the world through food. To find people whom I can call home.

ABOUT ME

I am a tinker. Always on the hunt for honest, earnest food, I dig my fingers into the culture and history of my present locale. I listen and believe in systems of mutual generosity. I am approximately equal parts elephant, octopus, and sea-turtle.

PHILOSOPHY

Breathe to live. Try everything twice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Fully engaged. Nooks and crannies.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None (yet). I love having people stay with me, though. Especially hungry people.

Interests

Puzzles. Food. Textures. Live music. Old music. Music which does not fit into either of the aforementioned categories. History of traditions. Written and spoken words. Creative explosions. The uncovering of intuition.
