Goofy introvert, lanky dance-poet slowly falling, after 25 years of life, in love with the human race.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is me
dipping virgin toes
into solo travel.

I want it to be special,
y'know?

Interests

• contact improvisation
• slam poetry
• gender justice

Music, Movies, and Books

Authors are my best friends
from Tom Robbins to Haruki Murakami to Flannery O'Connor...
and then there's the books themselves
Winnie the Pooh and Stone Butch Blues and Catch-22...

though I must admit
a most perfect little gift
is five-seven-five.

**~*~*~**

Musically, my first love was Jimmy Cliff's album, "The Harder They Come..." then came Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Michael Jackson, and No Doubt. Pink Floyd and English jazz pianist Jamie Cullum finished off the formative years. The rest is Joni Mitchell, Pinegrove, Chance the Rapper and P.O.S. and other rappers...

always open to new musicians & instruments & styles -- love recommendations!
