About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be the change.

ABOUT ME

Fiona Apple's TIDAL album
"The Edible Woman" --Margaret Atwood
Saul Williams's "Gypsy Girl"

Give me a good book, a curry bowl (Indian, Thai, or Japanese curry--it doesn't matter), and some shade in a sunny public park and I'm good!

PHILOSOPHY

"Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds."

Freedom is unattachment, realizing the impermanence of everything, and living as cliche as it may be IN THE MOMENT. Don't live for anyone else's dreams but your own.

It's hard but I'm learning, everyday.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just joined this community, but I hope to help other surfers in their journeys once I'm back home with a couch to offer!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The couch in Bangkok is actually my home (no joke). I appreciate couch crashing--I love to host and meet new people.

Interests

World travel. Good reads. Exotic eats. Lyricism//beats. New ink. Deep convos. Meeting new people. Discovering new interests.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This may not sound so profound or amazing, but I did Dr. Burroughs' ten day lemonade/cayenne pepper diet twice. It's amazing what you can do if you push yourself...and fasting for ten days is DEFINITELY pushing it for me.
