My insatiable curiosity requires constant feeding.

Ever seeking:
1) connection with others
2) insight from the various geopolitical/historical/cultural perspectives
3) new experiences and things I've never seen before

I adore intense conversation about anything from international affairs to the merits of dessert for breakfast! Can usually hold up my end of a conversation with some tidbit on most topics and my genuine interest takes care of the rest. I'm low-maintenance and flexible, authentic and accepting so people feel at ease with me and we usually get to know each other rather easily.

Noteworthy:
1) Profoundly allergic to cigarette smoke and its residue.
2) I cook for myself due to many food allergies.
3) Not interested in drinking
4) Couchsurfing and Tinder do NOT mix! I’m here for the friendship and cultural exchange. Please reread for comprehension.
5) I will NOT engage with anyone who doesn't have references.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I offered a ride home to a man shopping for Indian food groceries in the same aisle as me at a little store in Anchorage Alaska on a frigid February day. He turned out to be a Bhutani refugee and invited me into his home to meet his family who adopted me into the fold. I spent the next couple years helping them integrate into their new way of life. Such a chance encounter offered joy beyond measure!
