CURRENT MISSION

To explore and find magic of all kinds

ABOUT ME

How DO you describe yourself? At times I am random, then serious, joking, laughing, then "oh look at the shiny thing."
I find a magic in music and words that causes both creation, inspiration, and enjoyment on my part.
The water calms me, and I love to sleep. If I say I am fun, motivated, enthusiastic, loyal, at times bubbly, and generally a very nice person, are they simply a description, or will you take me at my word?

PHILOSOPHY

I exist as I am; that is enough
Walt Whitman

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I am exploring, but in the future when I am settled I hope to be a host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had amazing couchsurfing experiences for my six weeks of travel in Europe. Hosts were friendly, knowledgable, and the best part was that I would arrive somewhere and meet a host and it wasn't like meeting a host at all...it was like meeting an old friend! It made new and unfamiliar cities become that much more friendly.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was sixteen I watched a Jack Rabbit chase an Ocelot through a patch of trees behind the edge of the Grand Canyon. Most people never believe me when I tell them but I swear it's true. Ask one of my three sisters. They were there too.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you have a piano or some instrument I'll play along with you, or for you. Music is magic. I will discuss any topic for hours on end. Right now I am incredibly drawn to child psychology and the affects of children on our world. Let's talk about that.
