CURRENT MISSION

I'm not very good at surfing. I have a wetsuit, though.

ABOUT ME

I am a human who likes to do human stuff with other humans. I relish shared experiences. I laugh, a lot. I like to try to make others laugh, too, but my jokes are desperately dad-like. I try to be happy and I try to be kind. I think kindness is important. I am easy-going and easily delighted. I dig that good vibe where you find yourself saying, "I feel like I've known you for years".

PHILOSOPHY

Do as thy would be done by.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
To be wise is to know that you know nothing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love cooking - I will happily cook for you for every night I/you stay! Also, I don't mean to boast but I'm pretty good at opening bottles of wine.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My friend and I toured the South of France down to Barcelona and couchsurfed everywhere we went. Nothing but laughter and kindess. It was so great. It changed my views on the nature of humanity. The one night we had to spend in a hotel was sad indeed.

Interests

I like reading, writing, cycling round town at night, vegan cooking, drawing, playing the ukelele badly, swimming in the sea, running real far, birdwatching from my balcony, peoplewatching from cafés, longboarding but not too fast.

Music, Movies, and Books

Wes Anderson, futuristic films from the past, vintage Bond and Animal documentaries (especially about monkeys). I really like gypsy jazz. All books, any books. Just the weight of a book in my hand.
