Howdy!

I'm like a Billy Wilder movie; funny, cynical, great dialogue and, ultimately, quite entertaining (I hope)

I'm naturally introverted and shy, but I become a different person as I travel, which is why I like it so much.

My last three jobs were: translator, software support technician and professional gambler.
Not sure what that means.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To meet interesting people and see the world with non-touristy eyes.

兴趣

Traveling (duh)
Random bits of trivia -I was on two TV game shows and one international trivia team.
I love great and unusual food.
Basketball, both watching and playing.
Finding causes and explanations for pretty much everything.
Learning new languages and putting the pieces together.
I love cats and all young mammals.
