I am an ex-military tech-nerd. Introverted, adventurous, good-natured and helpful. I am a bit impulsive, though I am resourceful as well; it's impossible to plan for everything, but you can always plan to improvise.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interests

Hobbies include reading, gaming, tinkering, assorted arts (martial and conventional), and getting lost in various locales (adventuring). I usually embrace new experiences (especially if there's food), and always enjoy a good conversation (or debate). Recently joined the Society for Creative Anachronism.
