ABOUT ME

life, to me, is ...

"a rush the occurs when the batteries are dead and the brain full, before you drift off into the fog of sleep. the trash heap of impressions that we take in..."

-martin eder

PHILOSOPHY

if it is positive, do it. do it as much as possible and do it wihtout caring what others think.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i will be the surfer to help clean dishes and fold my sheets in the morning. i will be the host that will give you an air mattress more comfortable than my own mattress.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

surfed in the US and Europe and just hosted my first surfer!

Interests

you. plants. hand-made stuff. soul music. that smell before it rains. watching children use their imagination. spinach. skirts. making my own herbal teas. standing behind people in museums and listened to what the have to say about the particular piece. vinyl records. the smell of darkroom chemicals. and pie.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i met jimmy page at the royal albert hall in london on accident. i was so overwhelmed that i literally said nothing to him; just shook his hand and starred at his face.

Teach, Learn, Share

i can teach you the relationship between an aperture and shutter speed. as well as what all of those buttons on your digital camera that you never use do.
