CURRENT MISSION

Promote Alaskan Beer!

ABOUT ME

I like good food, good drink, and good company.

PHILOSOPHY

Life/Fate, whatever you wish to call it, has been very good to me, but learning to savour every moment is a constant challenge.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am very enthusiastic about this project and would like to host someone in my new guestroom!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've already hosted a few couchsurfers on my floor when I was a student, and the network came in handy when I was temporarily homeless and between apartments.

Interests

I like pilots and pilot bread. Nicholas and I have an almost unhealthy interest in good food and good wine. Thank goodness we have a dog that demands that we take her for walks, otherwise we'd be unhealthily round.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went to prison in Costa Rica to visit a convicted murderer. He was nice and polite and there was none of the fava bean stuff.

Teach, Learn, Share

Some people might describe me as overly helpful or concerned for their wellbeing. That is the sort of host and guest I can be.
