Things I like: farmer's markets, board games, reading, beer, sleeping in the mountains, science fiction, singing, trying out new recipes, wearing silly costumes.

I'm an environmental educator currently living in the Washington DC area. I'm new to couchsurfing, but I'm a friendly person hoping to make new friends in new places and explore!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was in middle/high school I would occasionally sing the National Anthem at local minor league sporting events. Once, at a hockey game, I fell on the ice in front of approximately 10,000 people. Nothing like the sound of 10,000 people gasping at the same time! The amazing part is that I got back and sang the anthem without missing a beat! Plus, I got extra pity cheers.
