About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet new, interesting people and see the world through their eyes; to travel the world filling it with ukulele music; and to find humor and unexpected adventures in amazing places.

Well, I am a vegetarian. I like to write and take pictures and read good books, and I don't do any of those things nearly enough. I love to cook (vegetarian food, of course). Learning recipes from my CSers when we have time is one of my favorite things. Traveling and sharing experiences is what I'm all about, and in my free time when I'm not traveling I'm usually biking, teaching ESL, or trying to learn something new.

"It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes." ~Douglas Adams

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have surfed in many different countries, allowing me to save enough money to actually see those countries, but I have also hosted, whenever able, and because of that met the most interesting people from around the world. I'm also game for coffee or a drink or a CS meeting from time to time.

I have had amazing CouchSurfing experiences!! I've both surfed and been hosted by wonderful, interesting, zany, and beautiful people!

Yay CS, you make traveling, my life, and the world so much better!

Interests
