CURRENT MISSION

To get a glimpse at what it's like to live in—not just to visit—places I've never been.

ABOUT ME

I sell wine and write stories.

PHILOSOPHY

If there's no Hell, I'm not making nearly enough mischief.

Music, Movies, and Books

Fiction, poetry, nonfiction—I love books from all genres and all eras. My taste in music is very broad, but I've seen embarrassingly few classic movies. Trying to fix that now!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I watched the sunset from the top of a koompassia tree in Malaysian Borneo.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know Swedish and Shiatsu massage, and a decent amount about wine.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Recipes, stories, drinks.
