CURRENT MISSION

A sense of beauty and authenticity at all times. These above anything else.

ABOUT ME

I am extremely interested in the arts, especially those that incorporate performance elements. I distract and surround myself with interesting sights and sounds as often as possible. I often feel spoiled with the amount of goodness surrounding my existence. In spite of all the awfulness in this world, I am a truly blessed soul. I love exploring and meeting new people. I love good story tellers. I love forgetting exactly where and when I am. I say this in spite of a frighteningly good sense of direction. I like to eat more than my figure would suggest. I should try things out more often than I do, even though I consider myself pretty spontaneous and very open minded. I appreciate people who push my limits and expand my mind. Please contribute.

PHILOSOPHY

no one
not even the rain
has such small hands

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new here.
I love the ideas of this community but am still a bit unsure as to how deeply I wish to participate.
You all will help inform these decisions.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

There are many times I have depended on the kindness of strangers. I love staying with new people and exploring places with groups of friends.
I also love playing host and tour guide.
You will find me a regular Mrs. Dalloway and a walking talking guide book if you visit a city that I've lived in for a little while with me. I love helping shape traveler's experiences in positive ways.

Interests

Most of my interests would be considered "alternative" in either individual or homogenized genres. I try to avoid easy classification though at times that is impossible as we are a generation of ultimatums and narrow possibilities. I am interested in attempting to keep things exciting and diverse in the age of instant communication. I mean this to be a truthful and unpretentious statement although some will inevitably take it as one. This is the nature of the beast.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have watched the sun set over the ocean enough times to take it for granted. All amazing and beautiful things become mundane if they are consistent. This is why we travel. To be children perpetually.
May we always be brand new.

Teach, Learn, Share

There is much about the places I've lived and the fields I am interested in that I can go on and on about if you really care to know.
I am also a good listener.
My mind is constantly wishing to be blown.
If you do so I will love you forever.
