I joined Couchsurfing in the beginning, so all my references are tied to my old Couchsurfing account on norabean ...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My Swedish friends inspired me to try CS again as I was looking to meet locals while sorting out housing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Lots of books have been held and read by me, some never finished, others read over and over again. I'm currently reading a book on blockchain and then will start one on environmental impact assessments.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recently, I lived and learned about indigenous people of North Dakota, USA.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am learning to code slowly, along with cookingThai food. I'd like to re-learn knotting, and reconnect with tennis. I can share many things, hard to say what, perhaps I'm best at sharing life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm from SF, maybe it depends on what people seek. I have lots of stories and life experiences of different times.
