CURRENT MISSION

I want to experience as much of the world as I can. I want to meet people from all backgrounds, and see live music from all parts of the world.

ABOUT ME

I am a vegetarian but I respect people that aren't. I strive to overcome my emotions, to allow joy into my life everyday. I am very open-minded. I am looking for some kind of faith, right now I am far too rational. I love music. I play cello, and attempt an assortment of other instruments (such as an ocarina I found in Guatemala). I like meeting people that enjoy unique experiences, like building snow globes or jumping off hot air balloons.

PHILOSOPHY

Courage is contagious. I will never stop trying to see the world through other people's eyes and experiences. Everything is worth learning about.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I cannot provide a couch right now, but I am willing to help in other ways. I have a wealth of knowledge about the area's music, art, and nature. I would also love to just grab coffee of a drink with anyone! I believe that money should not control people's ability to travel and experience each other's company.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not had any couchsurfing experiences yet.

Interests

I am interested in music, dancing, sewing, traveling, helping people, books, writing, tea, coffee, learning, languages, nature, animals, and painting.
