CURRENT MISSION

Write to be understood, speak to be heard, read to grow.

ABOUT ME

I'm a fiction writer, a painter, a baker of delicious brownies, a lover of (but alas, not an owner of) cats, a singer of silly songs and a dancer of silly dances. I love to travel and I live for adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to make something beautiful every day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm brand spanking new to this, so I haven't hosted any official couchsurfers, but people crash at my place all the time, so it seemed appropriate to make my couch more officially available.

Interests

I'm interested in books, movies, music, art, football, bonfires, wave jumping, and learning dances from every country I visit.

Music, Movies, and Books

This is thoroughly impossible. I have massive libraries of all three...you'll just have to visit and peruse the whole bunch of them!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've jumped off a bridge into the rapids of a raging Peruvian river, stood at the top of Machu Picchu, and sung and danced on the rooftops of Montevideo...all of which took my breath away, both literally and figuratively.

Teach, Learn, Share

Taxi drivers are the best people to practice your Spanish with in Montevideo, Uruguay.

Books are meant to be shared and discussed.

Brownies never have to be cooked quite as long as the recipe calls for.
