ABOUT ME

Professional cook, loves me some couchsurfing (it's the only way to go), hitch-hiking, street performing, and other modes of adventurous, more sustainable travel.

PHILOSOPHY

Amor fati

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I artlessly insert couchsurfing into every conversation I have.

I usually travel and surf in the summer, work and host in the winter.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I've spent a few years working as a cook on and off; play banjo, guitar, and harmonica; been designing my own NFT hydroponics system, so I have some knowledge in that field; have made many many gallons of wine from plums, blackberries, apples, peaches, dandelion, pumpkins, ... even grapes;

I'd like to learn how to play fiddle, new languages and to improve my proficiency in the ones I speak (including English), and all kinds of random interesting things that are too many to list here (or that I don't yet know of).

As far as 'share' goes, I love being exposed to new music, movies, food, art, poetry, people, cities, weird little spots inside these cities that I wouldn't otherwise have found, etc., and I will gladly return the favor
