CURRENT MISSION

To prance and dance. To never meet a stranger. To see it all.

ABOUT ME

alive, awake, alert(ish), enthusiatic. describe further? yeish.
Some would call me bubbly, which I take to mean like a contemplative and bubbling volcano, full of intellect and poised to erupt something wonderful at any moment.
some would call me fox like, which I take to mean well adapted to the woods, quick to listen and act, sly yet playful, silver.
Some would call me fun, which I take to mean....fun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and meeting people, stepping into new perspectives and adventures, and shooting the shit with folks I previously knew nothing of. Turns out, it's a pretty small world once you start communicating with the people in it and I'm on a mission to do just that.

Interests

I like riding bikes of all types. While we're at it, I'm into most activities associated with the outdoors, ie hiking, running, camping, surfing, skiing...I'm like an outdoor pizza with the works.

I also readily enjoy cooking with people, talking to people, trying new things, writing about those things,
I love to write and talk to people.
And I think that might be the key to helping us get out of this mess.
