I just learned the word coddiwomple, apparently it means 'to travel in a purposeful manner towards a vague destination.' & that pretty well sums up my travels lately! I don't wander quite so aimlessly as I used to, but I still very much keep options and mind open to whatever may be thrown my way, and strive to always carry banana bread with me in case of emergency.
of course there's so much more to say, but I'd rather let actions speak for me, an would appreciate the chance to do that with all the friends I just haven't met yet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

If I haven´t been somewhere (yet), I'd always love to meet someone who's been, and if they need a place to stay, I want to give them one and hope they would do the same. I don't know how explicitly connected it all is, but I imagine a massive web of these generosities coming full circle again and again, and I'd really like to keep that going.

Music, Movies, and Books

live music always wins. I can boogy to some techno but usually prefer acoustic or the classics. I'm always looking to discover new artists, so please share with me your own music and lets keep it going.

Books?
Ishmael. Let the great world spin. The Dinner. Barbara Kingsolver. Atlases, if those count...
