CURRENT MISSION

Escape. Explore. Find moments in life that teach me, shake my foundations, terrify and amaze me.

ABOUT ME

I am frequently described as quiet and collected, but I've always been told it's the quiet ones you have to watch out for...=D I am an avid adventurer and am in search for the ultimate life moment. I'll let you know when I find it, whatever it may be. It might just be a sandwich...

I'm fairly easy going and enjoy exploring new music, books, cultures and activities. Open to alternative lifestyles and viewpoints. I enjoy being covered in mud. And I have a sarcastic and dry sense of humor. Sorry.

“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.”
-Einstein

PHILOSOPHY

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!” -H.S. Thompson

That about sums it up. Also, do what makes you happiest without need for approval, but always take the higher road and show kindness at all costs. You don't need nearly as much money, or as many material belongings as you think. Take chances. And judge not, lest you be judged yourself.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been on the road more or less since Aug 2014, moving every three months between work contracts. But I assure you, once I have my own bed again and a more permanent place, I'll be open once more for you to come stay! It'll never be flashy, but it'll always be open, warm and welcoming. And more than likely involving baked goods :)

I have stayed in cool places across the U.S. and once abroad in Chile with a wonderful couple. I would love to expand my experiences!

音乐、电影和书籍

I get down. From trance to death metal to classical piano. I love it.

Unbroken. Eat, Pray, Love. Anything by Dostoevsky, Gillian Flynn or Edwidge Danticat. Siddhartha. Like Water For Chocolate. The Glass Castle. Running With Scissors. The Kite Runner. The Giver. Ender's Game. A Long Way Gone. Tears of the Desert.

Just to name a few... :)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

In a tiny warm kitchen in Cape Town that smelled of spiced nuts and peaches, I taught an elderly Xhosa man how to hula hoop and he smiled.

Shark cage diving with a bunch of great whites off the coast of South Africa!

教，学，和分享

I can teach you more medical jibber-jabber than you ever wanted to know. Also, anything and everything health/fitness related.

I would love to learn anything you care to share. My brain is not nearly as full as I would like.
