I'm a former ESL teacher who has always had a touch of wanderlust. I have always gone on road trips with friends and family. In college I studied abroad in Seoul South Korea and that's when I learned just how wonderful traveling alone could be. I've studied philosophy, mathematics, and creative writing; and have published some small works.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I biked from Fredonia NY to the Redwoods in California. And I want to meet friendly people to talk.

Interests

Teaching, creative writing, bicycling, horses, sailing & kayaking, food.

Music, Movies, and Books

All music, but especially 60s soul.
Most movies, but I'm not a fan of the fantastically bad.
I'm an eclectic reader, currently: Anna Karenina.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing is bicycling from Buffalo to Northern California. It was a blast, and the people I had the good fortune to stay with have taught me so much.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've tutored most college classes and if I don't know it I can learn it and teach you. Also bicycle repair and cooking. I also love sharing my favorite poems and poets with people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Mostly I can share quality conversation and stories of my travels. I can also tune a bicycle, help clean or some handy man stuff, and help cook. Oh, and I'm listening to a lot of podcasts so I can share what I learn from those!
