Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Take on a solo adventure to my greatest fascinations - A beautiful land where I'll be in a new mind set - The experience I've been waiting for it seems my entire life
ABOUT ME
I'm curious and motivated, always striving to learn and experience something novel. Though I live in a rather flat and built-up region, I prefer an environment characterized by mountains, forests, and clear streams. I enjoy shopping at thrift stores and compiling unique outfits. I'm especially inclined to wearing bright colors and pattern combinations, and I keep my hair dyed unnaturally vibrant colors. I'm preparing to travel throughout Ecuador for a few months, and I hope to make so many friends and gain insight about their lifestyles and culture. Particularly, I'm hoping to gain perspectives on anything related to ayahuasca.
PHILOSOPHY
I see no reason not to fully express my individuality and live a sometimes unconventional life that fits me perfectly.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I havn't had a chance to participate in CS, but I look forward to it in a few weeks.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I await my first experience.
Interests
During favorable weather I like to visit parks, walking through forests and relaxing on beaches. I enjoy laying under a tree and reading a book on a pleasant day and sitting around a bonfire at night with friends. Hosting and attending theme parties is another one of my favorite things to do when I've got a free night - I love making creative costumes out of items I already have, and I'll dress up for anything!

Music, Movies, and Books
I don't really watch many movies, since I don't have a TV. I do enjoy finding unique films to watch online though, especially documentaries and films in foreign language. As for music, it really varies! I enjoy a bit of everything, for the most part. Here's a few artists I like: Incubus, the Shins, the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, the Morning Benders, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, the Postal Service, the Black Keys, & the White Stripes. I enjoy reading books covering cultural topics and fantasy lands.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
When I was 11, my family went on a 2 month road trip around the United States. We ventured deep into the country, and I experienced so many extraordinary things. We jumped in freezing cold glacier water, hiked on snow in the summer, camped in the redwoods, drove through the Rocky Mountains, got stuck in a buffalo crossing on a road in the badlands and by a group of mountain goats in Canada, examined the diverse life in tidepools, walked along the rocky coast, visited some major California cities, bartered in a market in Mexico, viewed the Grand Canyon, and so much more. Incredible. That trip instilled the urge to travel inside me!
Teach, Learn, Share
I would like to learn anything related to ayahuasca. I hope to talk to many people about this sacred drink, asking questions based on what I have read in books and academic papers. I hope to gain a wealth of new perspectives, and I want to find an ideal location to drink the brew for the first time.
