CURRENT MISSION

grow roots.

ABOUT ME

I just like to experience life, new things, new places, see and understand how others live their lives, share my little corner of the universe, enjoy every minute of it, and surround myself with good people.

PHILOSOPHY

I was recently swimming with someone who's almost three times my age. The water was icy cold, and I took my sweet time testing it, up to my thighs, now my knees, finally my waist.
My swimming accomplice dove in without even testing the water, came up for air, and let out a cry of joy.
It took about 2 seconds for me to realize I was the only one not in the maximum fun zone.
So, that's what I'm trying to learn to do: throw myself fearlessly into the water and produce more joyous cries.

I prefer to travel by bike. It just feels like I may be alive. It's possible. Pedal through the decomposing leaves, using only the strength of the toast and yogurt I had for breakfast. That's power.The way I love tends to land me in trouble. I know it's technically "baggage." But I want every story, every heartbreak, to know about that terrifying first kiss, to understand why the past "failed" and how that can teach us how to succeed in the future. I am going to share it, will stand nowhere but naked and accountable when the moment arises. I want to know about the person standing in front of me. Fuck the idea that "I was born right into this moment." I am a collective.

"Alas," said the mouse, "the world is growing smaller every day. At
the beginning it was so big that I was afraid, I kept running and
running, and I was glad when at last I saw walls far away to the right
and left, but these long walls have narrowed so quickly that I am in the
last chamber already, and there in the corner stands the trap that I
must run into," "You only need to change your direction," said the cat,
and ate it up.-Kafka.

Or, more accurately, "get out of that place that's restraining your love."Ethical hedonism. Existential atheism. Freedom/Responsibility. Condemned freedom.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My living room is your living room, my porch is your porch. I am working on staying in one place, so mostly I can host, or show people around town and introduce them to folks.

Also: coffee, any hour of the day, or tea if you prefer. We can chat or sit in silence, or I'll enlist your aid in my latest craft or gardening project. It's all chill and comfy around here.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I wake up every morning.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I know a little about a lot... I could teach you to fix a flat tire on your bike or patch a tube... make you a damn good cup of coffee... identify a few plants in your yard... cook you up a plate of "hippie slop"... give you dreadlocks (don't hold me to that)... or convince you that coconut oil is going to save us all...
