I'm an artist (life) who fell into production (work). It takes me all over the place. I'm fortunate to travel regularly and love experiencing different cultures and making new friends.
With a creative spirit, I'm pretty happy wherever I land. That can be a blessing or a curse. In an effort to keep the wind at my heels, I am game for any adventure and am usually looking to jump on approaching trains. But my happy place is here on the gold coast, with my husband and pets.
My brother is one of my best friends. We laugh- a lot- and are often travel companions.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I've had a lot of crazy adventures, particularly over the last few years. I have plenty of stories to share! But I'm more interested in yours.

Interessen

Helping people, however I can. Curiosity shops, macabre history, the universe, beach camping, dancing, peculiarity, making art, building things, seeing my family, costume parties, comic books, cats (mine in particular), spreading joy.

Good grief. Where to begin. I don't think I can really scratch the surface in this space, but here is a skeleton.

Jazz, Jungle, Soul.

Blade Runner. The Jerk. Cinema Paradiso. Gentlemen Broncos.

Jasper Fforde, Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett, Anäis Nin, William Gibson, Henry Miller, A. Lee Martinez, Edward Gorey, Bukowski

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I tend to feel like *life* is pretty amazing. So it's hard to say, "That. That one time. That was it."

It's just a ride.

But ask me about the time I helped my friend pull a vein from her eyeball after my brother briefly became a dinosaur, when we got stuck in an eastern Tennessee tourist area, where an International Santa Claus Convention, a major cheerleading competition, a pentecostal religious retreat, and college basketball playoffs were consecutively taking place. With conflicting parades.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I had a pretty intense existential epiphany recently. That would be cool to share.

I can recite quite a few Deep Thoughts (sattire/witticisms by Jack Handey, American comedy writer)

Or I can just teach you the best technique for wielding a hot glue gun.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I'm friendly and conscientious of my host and space (read: live quite neatly from my suitcase). I can be as involved or seperate as desired, as a guest. Ultimately I'm pretty laid back. I'll do the dishes, empty your cat's litter box, make you some new curtains, or be the first one in the dance floor. Game for anything.
