CURRENT MISSION

Is "see the world" too ambitious?

PHILOSOPHY

I want to live my life so that I don't have to feel like I wasted it. I want to have stories to tell.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm just figuring out this CouchSurfing stuff, but I'm really excited to get involved! At the moment I can really only offer an invitation for drinks, but I'm looking to do a bit of traveling and see some new pages and eventually offer my own couch so others can do the same.

Interests

I am interested in everything: art, music, food, films, newspapers, museums, cities, baking, books, poetry, day trips, trains, people-watching

Music, Movies, and Books

George Gershwin, Bob Dylan, The Velvet Underground, The Beatles, Andrew Bird. I love movies by Ingmar Bergman, Woody Allen, Stanley Kubrick, John Huston, Sergio Leone, Fritz Lang or John Ford. I will read pretty much anything that's put in front of me, but I'm happiest reading Kerouac or Dostoevsky. And my best Sunday is - and maybe will always be - a pot of coffee and the New York Times

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Gaudi's Sagrada Familia in Barcelona - I've never been surrounded by anything so beautiful. It was like walking around in someone else's dream.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have random historical knowledge to share, but as far as practical knowledge goes my skills are pretty much limited to the kitchen. But if you want to experiment with cooking and baking I would love to be involved!
