  • Jim

    Jim

    Quirkiness Hound

    Whether dancing salsa in Miami, speaking Swahili in Tanzania, or throwing snowballs in Michigan, Jim thrives on keeping people on their toes.

Although Jim has been described […]

  • Helen

    Helen

    Quirkiness Hound

    After four years in England’s glorious capital and when the greyness got too much, Helen headed off to live in Summer – a pursuit which landed her teaching English to high school students in Thailand.

    Sumanth can be described as itchy: itchy feet, itchy hands, itchier mind.

  • Michelle

    Michelle

    Quirkiness Hound

    Michelle wants to live in a world where everyone buzzes with a little madness and no good story remains untold. She spends her waking hours scheming and tinkering to connect people with the products and resources of their dreams. She’s particularly happy when she gets to use Twitter to do it. When she’s not reading […]

  • Sean

    Sean

    Chicken Whisperer
    BK (Brooklyn, not Burger King)

    Born and raised in “the place where the whale burned,” Sean spent the first 18 years of his life in rural Upstate NY, mastering how to milk cows and do all the other hick things city-folk assume Upstaters might do, including catching frogs with one’s bare hands. Note, bare, not bear hands. Sean does not […]
