Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I've had experiences I wouldn't have otherwise and met some amazing people. Because of Couchsurfing, I was invited to someone's sweat lodge in New Mexico. I also met my wife through Couchsurfing when I moved to Albuquerque four years ago!
Music, Movies, and Books
A Confederacy of Dunces, Rilke, Elizabeth Bishop, Keats, Theodore Roethke, Neko Case, Sigur Ros
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Watching the sun set over a lake and turning around to see a double rainbow. Abiquiu, New Mexico.
Teach, Learn, Share
I make an excellent lemon meringue pie. If you have a garden, letting me poke around in it and ask questions about gardening in your climate would be fun.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Meals, walks, conversation.
My Interests
Poetry, music, reading, books, languages, traveling, coffee, planning possible trips, cooking, traveling by bus, train, and car, the desert
