CURRENT MISSION

To find somewheres and somethings that strike my fancy. Which isn't really so fancy at all.

ABOUT ME

I am a child of the mountains, but as it would a kite without a string, the breeze has blown me away on a new adventure... I know that if I had the plumage to match my more-than-colorful insides, I wouldn't be nearly so plain, so I've painted myself for my journey with fitting ink. I am young and wandering - enjoying the reckless abandon of my youth. I mean, I guess that's what you could call it anyway, mostly I'm just following an imaginary map with no destination, and I can't seem to stand still...

PHILOSOPHY

I live by kindness - it is the only philosophy I could never outgrow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch surfed and hosted extensively, but always without the aid of CouchSurfing.org... Until now! Thanks to a reminder from a fellow traveler, I've recently rediscovered my CouchSurfing acct and the endless resources it can provide.

Interests

I am an avid reader, clumsy longboarder, lover of sun and beauty, strange music, local radio, fresh fruit, and warm evenings with good company.

• beauty
• dining
• cooking
• gardening
• music
• mountains

Music, Movies, and Books

Aldous Huxley - Island, Brave New World, Chrome Yellow; Milan Kundera - The Unbearable Lightness Of Being; Kahlil Gibran - The Prophet; Voltaire - Candide; Herman Hesse - Demian, Siddhartha (these are the ones i re-read, but almost any book, especially those with pictures, can hit my spot).

Teach, Learn, Share

I cook darn tasty food. I've got some basic medicinal botanical knowledge, plenty of planting/gardening know-how, and I'm a wealth of silly, but occasionally useful, factoids. I have LOTS to learn. Everything and more, in fact, so let's get started.
