"until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things, man will not himself find peace." ~albert schweitzer

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

couch surfing has enriched my travel experiences time and time again. i am so grateful for this network of wonderful, inspiring people. i haven't been able to host anyone because i've been on the move myself, but i hope to welcome plenty of wanderers in the future!

Interests

travel, running, dancing (of every kind and everywhere!), yoga, singing, learning, reading, tree climbs, creek stone hops, heart-pumping hikes, river and sea swims.

this wild world is beautiful and i believe that life should be lived to the fullest!

Music, Movies, and Books

let's chat more when we meet because music/book/film exchanges are the best!

i think that the greatest art speaks to the soul.

i have a serious love of music, especially toe-tapping tunes performed live. when it comes down to it, i've belted out joni mitchell's "blue" album and read arundhati roy's "the god of small things" about a bajillion times and they have yet to lose their magic. rilke is a poet of the heart. kurt vonnegut's "cat's cradle" simultaneously cracks me up and makes me think. "tao te ching" is a manual for life. "baraka" is a mystical ride, and "amelie" lifts my spirit.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

the other night a twig climbed onto my toe. the twig was really a caterpillar in disguise, and her camouflage was a masterpiece. that's pretty amazing to me.

Teach, Learn, Share

i can teach you how to become a first class jacks competitor. some call me the master of tensies.
