About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Maximum inspiration

ABOUT ME

I want to be inspired and inspire others in return. Or at least try to make someone happy. I want peace and I try to understand things before I make judgments. I try to look for beauty in the world. I do what I can.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kinder than necessary. Everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm brand new to CS, and I'm really excited try it out! It's such a good idea!

I just had my first CS experience hosting Paco Ruiz from Mexico City. We had a good time at the lake and partied until five in the morning one night. He was very kind, and I'd say he pretty much embodies what CS is about. It's good times! I can't wait to do some couch surfing myself soon.

Interests

All things musical!, the wonders of the natural environment, traveling, cultures, good conversations, random acts of kindness, hiking, cooking, festivals, communities, activism, arts and crafts

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is very important to me. It's what makes me feel the most alive. I don't know where to begin! There's so much out there to listen to and be shared! I'm always looking for more and I'd love to know some of your favorites. Some movies I like are I Heart Huckabees, The Royal Tenenbaums, Me and You and Everyone We Know, Punch Drunk Love, Waking Life, The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou, The Science of Sleep, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Broken Flowers, Into The Wild, The Fountain, Amelie, Paris, Je T'aime, etc. etc., Books: The Stranger, Life of Pi, Planet Walker, Down and Out in Paris and London
