CURRENT MISSION

"Only Connect"

ABOUT ME

I'm a consummate traveler and learner. I'm moving from Albuquerque, New Mexico to California in several weeks. I've lived in California before, and I'm looking forward to my experience. I'm not looking forward to paying California rent.

PHILOSOPHY

"So you think you're a failure, do you? Well, you probably are. What's wrong with that? In the first place, if you've any sense at all you must have learned by now that we pay just as dearly for our triumphs as we do for our defeats. Go ahead and fail. But fail with wit, fail with grace, fail with style. A mediocre failure is as insufferable as a mediocre success. Embrace failure! Seek it out. Learn to love it. That may be the only way any of us will ever be free." ~Tom Robbins

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have only unofficially hosted members that also happen to be friends (I have yet to live in a space stable enough for hosting), but I have also attended CS events and get-togethers. Most recently, I had to take a (very long) road trip from ABQ to Illinois, and I stayed with some wonderful Hosts along the way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Every experience I have had has been overwhelmingly positive. Mostly, I've enjoyed meeting new people and getting a glimpse into their lives (in a noncreepy way) and just hearing their stories. It really is the best way to travel. It is a culturally and personally enriching experience to "surf" and "be surfed."

Interests

Fine arts and art history.
Old radios, vinyl records, old books, typewriters any other useless cultural epherma.
Cooking curries. Baking.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Desert. The Mountains. The ocean. Manhattan. Someone's home. It's all beautiful in its own special and microcosmic way.
