CURRENT MISSION

Seeking God through beauty, particularly of Nature and Churches.

ABOUT ME

I just graduated college and am starting graduate school this fall, and so I am in a brief window of life with no immediate responsibilities. I'm seizing the opportunity to travel. I grew up not going to school, reading tons of books at home and having fun. I just graduated a college where the classes are all discussion based, meaning the students talk about 85% of the time, so I love discussion and am very comfortable with disagreement.
I am a practicing Catholic, and I am entirely open to discussion of Faith or philosophy with people who agree or disagree. My favorite things to do are see beauty (in nature, art, or architecture), participate in it, or discuss it.

PHILOSOPHY

God's in charge so don't worry. But make sure to get plenty of sleep.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I'm hoping to be the one sleeping on the couch. I am eager to learn or teach. I want to meet other people and learn about them and their thoughts. Once I'm settled

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

none yet. Hopefully that will change soon.

Interests

Dancing (latin, ballroom, and swing), music, listening or jamming, books, Philosophy, Theology, Economics, Political science, ethics, education, art, discussion of any of the above with people holding similar or wildly different views, rock climbing, relaxed hiking (particularly up mountains) volleyball, roller hockey (and I want to learn ice) and a few other things.
I am interested in truly creative fun, such as fake mustache parties or dancing on beaches, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Assisi (my group had a mistake about who was finding the hostel, so we had to sleep in a vineyard behind a blackbery bush)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a native (american) speaker of english, from a very literary family, so I would be glad to help you to learn english. I also know Latin. I can dance Tango, Salsa, Rumba, Waltz, and Swing. I've played piano for 12 years, both classical and improvisational. I've also taught all these things before except english, and I'd be glad to teach any of them. As for learning, I'm up for anything that's not immoral.
