About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live life wholeheartedly, learn from the world, and give freely

ABOUT ME

.... especially curious about life, the universe, and everything

Above everything, I love being outside. I collect feathers. And I believe everything is connected.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars.
-Walt Whitman

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet you! Whomever you are!
Hear about your life, tell you about mine, and maybe drink some beers in the process :P

Interests

What I fancy most: everything about the season of autumn, coffee shops in the rain, the smell of wilderness, broken-in boots, bike-able cities, insects and animals, the moment after you purchase a plane ticket, used book stores, being in over my head, clear nights of starry skies, mountain ranges of any sort

Music, Movies, and Books

Well. I'm not much a fan of music/movie snobbery of any sort. But! Some I dearly, dearly love....

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Blue Valentine (lovely, sad reflections on love)

The Bone Clocks - David Mitchell
A Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - Ken Kesey
The Cloudspotter's Guide: The Science History and Culture of Clouds- Gavin Pretor-Pinney

Modest Mouse, Sufjan Stevens, ODESZA, alt-J, Tallest Man on Earth, Blackwater Railroad Company (a BRILLIANT Alaskan blue grass band), Zach Deputy.... anything you can lose yourself in!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Woken up to a moose licking my tent under the midnight sun.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to fold a paper crane, spread a lepidoptera (butterfly), and show you some of Alaska's magical spots, if you're headed up that way : )

D'ailleurs, j'ai passé trois moins en france donc tu peux aussi m'écrire en français. J'essaierai de ne pas faire trop de fautes ;) on verra!
