ABOUT ME

Flippant, silly, quite genuine, and almost always searching. Sometimes apologetic, usually authoritative, and occasionally passive. There is nothing better than truly feeling like you relate to someone. i like to be challenged mentally and emotionally. descriptions of myself vary greatly and are dependent upon the day and inspiration through which they are required. This was today's!

PHILOSOPHY

i want to play and feel free and be happy. i cherish the right to define and redefine my personal philosophy at every corner.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

NewNew. This is new for me. So I dare to explore how I will participate. I will host should anyone find themselves passing through my locale and would love to be hosted should I be lucky enough to pass through theirs.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

haha. I suppose this is in reference to staying with folks that you may not know that well through travels, which I feel I relate to more as a child through MennoniteYourWay. I have lots of memories of staying in other people's homes with my parents and brothers while we were on trips. I always loved playing with new kids and I can remember a hot Florida Sun and Pennsylvania Snow most vividly. I guess those things hold true - new friends and new experiences.

Interests

I'm terribly moved by music. I love to get wrapped up in other peoples stories via books, tv, or movies. I am interested in art, i'm interested in design, i'm interested in building a home. i'm into my dog and my job. i'm intrigued by the internet. i'm interested in laughing and learning. i like to drink a good drink, eat a good meal. I'm interested in being indulgent for the sake of pleasure. i'm interested in travel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

sometimes the littlest things are amazing. i once rode past this orange tree in the front yard of someone's home in columbia, sc. and the sun was shining on it just perfectly - and it inspired a thought process that was beautiful and intense and it brought on a seeming peace that was truly amazing.
if you were looking for something more extraordinary - I'm sorry - that's all i can think of this moment. Amazing things happen all the time though and its hard to select just one.

Teach, Learn, Share

Haha. Wow. What can I teach you!?
I am an expert in Information Architecture as it applies to the CRM application Salesforce.com.
I'm also an avid blogger. I can build basic websites in HTML/CSS, I am more than proficient in several design software programs.
I spend more hours than I am proud of reading about current interior design trends.
I am in the process of renovating a 1968 Shasta 1500 Camper Trailer - but I can only teach you what an amateur hack gypsy wannabe would do with a vintage camper trailer.
Learn...
Chance are whatever it is, I wanna learn it!? I wanna learn about food, wine, culture, music, art, literature........... humanity.
Share... Please, lets share. I keep running lists of Books to love, Music to Love, Places to See!!! Tell me!!
