CURRENT MISSION

to be happy, wherever that takes me

ABOUT

I'm kinda neat. #humblebrag
Also that picture is like 4 years old. I don't even know what happened to those glasses.

PHILOSOPHY

Even though I'm not particularly religious, I had to recite this prayer every day (really) for 6 years in elementary school (private Christian, of course):

"Be ye kind, one to another; tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as Christ hath forgiven you."
- Ephesians 4:32, KJV

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Local events and spreading the word :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

At first it was just with local events. However, as time went on, I ended up hosting random people at random times.

Interests

Reading, writing, nerding it up.

• writing
• reading

Music, Movies, and Books

"In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep to the simple. In conflict, be fair and generous. In governing, don't try to control. In work, do what you enjoy. In family life, be completely present."
- Tao Te Ching

"It is, I think, an indisputable fact that Americans are, as Americans, the most self-conscious people in the world, and the most addicted to the belief that the other nations are in a conspiracy to under-value them."
- Henry James

Long story short: I love quotes, written language, spoken language. Verbal and non-verbal communication. Expressive hands that flutter like butterflies when people speak.

Language. <3
