CURRENT MISSION

to love relentlessly, so live more expansively than selfish inhibitions would have me.

ABOUT ME

... Colors, writing, learning languages, sunrises/sets.... I love changes. And being with friends, especially outdoors. Tend to get restless and that makes me impulsive... I'm close to my family ("friends/family"). I love films, but often times watch them by myself. i want to do everything and don't always have the time: coffee, music, dancing, tennis, soccer, climbing, rafting, trekking, reading, cooking. i like.... everything but sushi-- ;) i like to move. self-learning the ukulele so I can make music with my friends. Not a huge partier unless it's with groups of people I know well...but i jus can't say no to dancing.^_^

PHILOSOPHY

everything will fail. but Love is the Single Thing that will sustain and can save us. It's hard, because it de-centralizes us from our living and requires that we not lean on our own understanding.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

though i haven't a couch to offer at the moment, i would so enjoy taking you around the city for some arts, food, or a soccer match--- or out into the rugged wild for trekking;). if that's not to your "gustos" a quiet good meal and warm home/drinks are yours too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

so far, not yet through CS. only an unconnected Newcastle, England adventure, which was terrific.

Interests

dance as a motion, dance in creative dialog, dancing for social experience, dancing in the car when i hear that song. PROJECTS with crossed arts and collaborations. reading, writing (but i keep that close to the chest). love yoga/pilates and would rather they than the gym...the outside, I'd rather boulder than hike, rather surf than water ski, rather bus than bike, but i'm down for anything. one day i'll snowboard when it's not cold (.... but really i'd love to), getting to know new people-- anything when i learn something and grow, especially if it's a physical art. I'd like to pick up French, and am a quick study. but it's not getting done just watching subtitled movies or with music...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i unwittingly swam with a manta ray at twilight in Puerto Escondido of Oaxaca, Mexico. dunno which of us was the more frightened by the surprise... In Utah, I saw red and sculpted the Moab desert-- for which there aren't adequate words.

Teach, Learn, Share

Helpful: mosquito bites-> if you make a small cut in the top of the bite and press out a bit of the clear fluid, it won't itch.
Medical: tablespoon of applecider vinegar+cup of water is a good tonic when you're feeling rough. That, and tender coconut.
