I'm not really a grownup. Sometimes I edit books for money. Sometimes I write books for money. Sometimes I am totally broke. Through most of it I'm traveling in one way or another.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

All the cool kids were doing it when I first started traveling in 2006 or so.

Music, Movies, and Books

I... I don't think I have favorite music. Like a single musician or song or even style. I have a variety of things that I really like. A bit of Bach, a bit of Billy Joel, some random Darius Rucker...

Movies I don't watch a lot of, but I saw this one about a chicken bus. That was pretty cool.

As for books, I'll read (and probably love) almost any romance novel, as long as the hero and heroine (or whatever) are alive and together at the end of it. Oh, and it isn't rapey. Hate the rapey ones.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I helped rebuild flooded homes in Brooklyn NY with All Hands Volunteers, learning to do some fun construction stuff, and horrifying everyone by calling the tools toys.
