Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To live well, be kind, and to see things for what they are
PHILOSOPHY
I try to live my life as carefully as I can, without hinderance to the actual living itself. I like to think about what I'm doing before I go and do it because I know that not thinking about what I'm doing leads to mistakes. But when I actually do the things I've been thinking about, I do them as well as I can, as passionately as I can. My goal is to understand that which is in my life. My life being the people I know, the places I've been, and what I have done with those people at those places. Part of that understanding is how I affect those things in my life and how they affect me in turn. From this understanding I can learn how to better myself and how to, more importantly, better everything around me.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Just starting out. So sorry If I mess things up.
Interests
I really enjoy to make bread. One day I tried to make bread and failed miserably. After that I dedicated myself to learning how to make delicious loaves. People seem to like what I create now.
I am a lover of theatre and the arts.
I also enjoy reading. anything from the classics, to the Wheel of Time, or even Pablo Neruda. I am not adverse to new reads.
Music is one of my all time favorite passions. I play upright bass, piano, I sing, and I listen to whatever strikes my fancy.
