CURRENT MISSION

to make bad puns in every language and to eat as much delicious food as possible

ABOUT ME

I'm a geek for language, food, and pop culture. My foodie appetite knows no bounds--except for mayonnaise and eggs. I have a weakness for puns.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't Couchsurfed before, as I've only lately had the chance to get out and travel around. I haven't traveled too far in a while, but I've got the bug!

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I dragged a cardboard stand-up of Legolas out of a bookshop into a heavily-trafficked parking lot in order to give it to a friend for her birthday.

I ate amazing blue cheese-covered steak in Prague (with a drink and side!) for under 10 Euros. :)

I traveled solo through Belgium and England--and didn't miss a bus or train!

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

When you come to Germany, it's probably a good idea to stow a rain jacket or umbrella in your tote bag. That way, when--not if!--it rains, you'll be dry.

Blue laws are still in effect in many parts of South Carolina. Be prepared for late opening hours in stores on Sunday.
