About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Understanding humans and their confounding, fascinating ways.

ABOUT ME

I'm quite happy, chill organism.
I REALLY want to sky dive.
I enjoy staring at my goldfish swimming in around their fish tank, traveling through different layers of consciousness, being a curious creature, occasionally climbing a tree, and people watching in cafes. Also, tea, coffee, and fruit.

PHILOSOPHY

Appreciate the beauty in every cell and galaxy; laugh and share tea with good-willed strangers. Although humanity's short existence on this spinning rock may very well be arbitrary, might as well enjoy the time we have!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf as I travel and chill with folks on the way and try to mush our brains together.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfers regularly blow my mind.

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw a mother squirrel carry her kidney bean sized newborn kin in her teeth. It was majestic.
