I do a lot of moving around, and I never like to be in the same place for too long. This is more me getting bored and wanting something new than anything else. :]

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the concept, I love meeting new people and going to new places, and I love the idea that there are people out there like me who want the same.

Interests

I'm into stories. I enjoy reading, writing, fandom, fencing, traveling, hiking, people, and learning. I work frequently with ESL students, and my favorite thing to do in my free time is to debate character and plot development.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Deftones, Led Zeppelin, Bebe, Shaa, Detektivbyran, the Strokes, etc

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A friend of mine and I were nearly attacked by musk oxen in Alaska during a hike to some Cold War era communications towers. A fox, of all things, ended up scaring them away and saving us.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll tell you all my ridiculous stories, teach you to fence, knit, crochet, write a good essay, or listen if you need it. I have a lot of friends who joke that I'm their therapist/marraige counselor. I like to get to he heart of conflict rather than skirting around the edges.
