ABOUT ME

I'm particularly good at Saved by the Bell trivia (at least I used to be). Love to laugh and spend my time in good company. Good meals feed the soul as much as the body. I feel most myself when I'm dancing. I like to be spontaneous, mischievous, outside, experience new things. I like my alone time, but I'm happiest exploring and adventuring with others. I like learning from others and getting stoked off of their stoke.

PHILOSOPHY

balance; direct experience; everything is energy; spiritual beings living in a human body; goodness and kindness; words are powerful; creativity is one of humanity's greatest gifts; happiness is best when shared

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My roommate Mel and I unofficially couch surfed on our last road trip West. We met awesome people everywhere we went: Trevor and Chuck in Lexington VA, Tru-D Cups in Charleston, WV and the talented boys of Blunt Honey, Sean and Jonathan, in Louisville, Ky. We just got in the car and stopped when we felt like it. Stayed last minute with a host in Burlington, VT a few years back on a similar style trip, also a positive experience.

Prior to that, I met a couchsurfer back in college that stayed with a good friend for about a month. Gave 1st level Reiki attunement to her and another one of my friends at the time. He's still close with our friend group today. So all in all, a small number but all great experiences so far!

Mostly, I'm all about meeting and befriending new people, hearing their stories, being exposed to different ways of living and approaching life. Laughter and good company - two of life's greatest joys.
