PHILOSOPHY

"Every thing is connected" -- Papá Jamieson

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet cool people, of course! And to learn all the secrets of a new city. ;)

Currently, I'm not in a position to host but I'd be happy to show surfers around LA!

Interests

I love my field of work. Historic preservation kind of like home archeology. Take one hardware piece and you can figure out a hell of a lot about the house, year, an maybe what kindof people lived there.

Other interests include;
Poetry (writing & reading)
Swimming
Reading
Yoga-ing
Stained-glass fun
Long walks
Rearranging furniture
Long talks
Amateur sewing
Antique hardware
Old Hollywood movies

Oh man, I am interested in endless things. So... here its goes; history, books, Latin America, bicycling, flowers, architecture, Teocaltiche, politics, guava, kayaking, Cary Grant, West Side Story, sewing, Matisse, and metaphysics.
