CURRENT MISSION

live consciously.

ABOUT ME

This gal is a lifelong adventurer and a very playful, easygoing, honest & independent person. I enjoy life at a slower pace, and am all about the little moments. I love cities almost as much as I love escaping from them! Music keeps my pulse beating, and I am happiest when cooking with friends and spending time outside, swinging in my travel hammock, getting down to live music or on a mothafuckin' boat : )

PHILOSOPHY

on my own path through life, I am never done learning and I view every person I meet along the way as a new opportunity.

Some personal philosophies adapted from Magic Hat beer caps:
Why not go out on a limb? Isn't that where the fruit is?
Be a traveler, not a tourist.

"The answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the mystery. If you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. I've never seen anybody really find the answer. They think they have, so they stop thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer." -Ken Kesey

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

I am a music addict. The first album I owned as a kid was Rubber Soul. I have seen Phish 17 times. I LOVE jam bands, electronica, funk, reggae, bluegrass, indie rock & hip hop, really anything I can dance to.

my favorite literary indulgence is Tom Robbins : ) I am openly a Harry Potter nerd. I like reading real books too, when I have down time.

Movies I love are Donnie Darko, Almost Famous, Beetlejuice, Spirited Away, Harold & Maude...

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

swimming with baby sharks in a mangrove in Thailand! I also bungy-jumped from the second-highest site in the world in Queenstown, New Zealand ...but I see and do amazing things every day ; )
