I'm a vacation junkie who loves bright colors and thrift stores. I live to travel and I love to drive. I’ve got forensic chemistry and criminology to fall back on, but choose to plan and execute events. I absolutely love my job and I throw one hell of a party. I work really hard but think that manual labor is good for the soul. I love NPR and CBS Sunday Morning. Organic stillness in nature is much appreciated, but so is chaos. I always take a vitamin and eat my vegetables. Brussels sprouts and beets are my favorite foods, but I also love escargot and cheese (separately, of course). An ideal night combines friends, a drink, and board games or a bonfire - but I'm quite fond of going out and catching a show or losing at pool. I dream of being an ex-pat after a mid-life crisis but am addicted to traveling in temporary form until then. I build things… usually out of wood. I paint. Actually, I’ll paint anything that sits still long enough. I love the subtle differences in fonts and how that conveys the emotion of the subject. I think everyone should experience CouchSurfing, and I love to start projects that I don't always finish. I love to renovate houses but luckily I do finish those. I have an RV that I bought at the flea market and took across the country. I think that chili cheese dogs are underrated, and I have a strange affinity for chicken nuggets that are shaped like tiny, breaded dinosaurs. Are my bases covered?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are all here to share, help, learn, and grow as individuals. Your actions really have an effect on the world - do good and good will come to you.

I host, surf, and eagerly share with anyone who hasn't heard of CS! I've Surfed in France, Spain, and Morocco, and I've hosted in Athens.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I bought a 1970's guacamole-green RV at the flea market and traveled around the United States in it.

Teach, Learn, Share

Live as if you will die tomorrow, but learn as if you will live forever.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can clean your place so that you can relax, or I can teach you how to cook and bake, build something, change a tire, sew, make a spreadsheet....many odd, useful talents that I can share.
