i up and left a life i wasn't satisfied with to travel indefinitely without much to start with. originally from nyc, open-minded, personable, and always ready for whatever. i live for the moment and truly believe life is what you make it and i'm making mine with plenty of love and good times...oh, and i can't eat bananas (it's a texture thing).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i've been traveling for a while and met the most amazing people without this site so imagine how many more i can meet through this site...

Interests

generally- people, good conversation, places, writing, things i don't know.

specifically art (all forms of expression), music/dancing, mysteries, nature, animals, climbing trees, scuba diving and snorkeling, the human body, and all things esoteric.

Music, Movies, and Books

music- all kind but mostly late '90s - early 2000s hip-hop, indie, roots, orchestral, alternative r&b, etc. name drop; nas, jay, john legend, fink, glass animals, olafur arnalds, charles aznavour, hans zimmer, andre 3000, london grammar, clint mansell, childish gambino, bill withers, bob marley, but lately i've been getting into movie scores and other things without words.

movies- cult classics from the '80s and '90s, anything by the nolan brothers, or with hans zimmer on the soundtrack. and never seen "star wars," "lord of the rings," or "harry potter." help me!

books- do i even have to say "the alchemist?" umm,"4 hour work week," "the girl with the dragon tattoo" series, david sederis' stories are pretty great, "the strange life of nikola tesla," "initiation" by elisabeth haich, "who invented the moon," "lord of the dance" by chagdud tulku...and a bunch of old texts no one ever heard of.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i think i have that benjamin button disease?

i dropped my "life" to travel and i haven't died yet!

i picked my life back up and i'm still traveling. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

i'd like to think i know a little about a lot and everyone knows something someone else doesn't...always open to teach what i know, learn what i don't, and share the moment.

What I Can Share with Hosts

photography, convos, help around the house, refreshing energy, lots of experiences, stories from the road, enthusiasm about breakfast, groceries, and i can properly fold a fitted sheet :D
