CURRENT MISSION

Discover love and beauty in anything

ABOUT ME

I love new experiences, and although I'm a bit shy around new people, I want to know all about them. There isn't anything that I wouldn't do, unless it were to hinder or hurt another.

PHILOSOPHY

To love everything for what it is, staying mindful of individual differences in ethics, beliefs, purpose and existential philosophy. I can be no more wrong or right than another unless we have previously agreed upon terms of argument.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only ever surfed once, but it was a great experience to kick off my thru-hike this past year.

Interests

All kinds of music: writing, arranging, orchestrating, playing, singing, listening, anything...I love to learn about all things music, including the instruments and people who play them. I contra dance and play board games to fill my time that I'm not reading or musicing. The kitchen is a lovely place to be.
