CURRENT MISSION

DO STUFF

ABOUT ME

I am a student of Hispanic Studies, one year away from graduating and doing something with my parlour trick of a degree. Or maybe not. Maybe just expand my garden and get a goat, and travel when I can.

PHILOSOPHY

" 'Stuff your eyes with wonder,' he said 'live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories. Ask no guarantees, ask for no security, there never was such an animal. And if there were, it would be related to the great sloth which hangs upside down in a tree all day every day, sleeping its life away. To hell with that,' he said, 'shake the tree and knock the great sloth down on his ass.' "

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Try to host! Cannot wait to be on the traveler's end of it again, though.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed once and hosted once. Wish I could do more but I have been wrapped up with school. I'll be around most of the summer so our couches should be available again.

Interests

Seeing places, people, things...learning places, people, things. Being a small person in a huge world. Colors, textures, making things with my hands. Mysteries, water, mountains, swimming, hiking, languages, sitting in trees, reading, music, music, music!
