CURRENT MISSION

to fall desperately head over heels in love in an Art Museum. Preferably with a piece of art. Preferably by Marcel Duchamp.

ABOUT ME

I am actively searching for the proper way to combine bubbles, cuddling, smoke, rain, footie pajamas, and large groups of people into one all-inclusive activity. If you have any tips, please feel free to let me know!

"The plain fact is that the planet does not need more successful people. But it does desperately need more
peacemakers,
healers,
restorers,
storytellers, and
lovers of every kind."
I believe this with all my heart.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that the planet does not need more successful people. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and
lovers of every kind.

I am often too lucky, but never too grateful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I´ve been hosting travelers in my home for years, but never through this site (yet! Come visit! I will make you cookies!). Back home, I´ve fallen in love with ridesharing...I don´t bother with trains or buses anymore, since there are always friendlier people willing to share a seat in their cars. When I´ve been lucky enough to have a car of my own in which to travel, it´s been a blast to get to know the great backpackers and vibrant spirits with whom I´ve shared a ride. I love this.
I know I´m new, but give me a chance and you´ll see that I am right up the CS alley, promise. :)
