CURRENT MISSION

To learn new things

ABOUT ME

I'm writing, I'm writing, I'm writing a novel,
a movie? A musical? A porno!
About? About, uh, well, it's about this girl, no this woman, She's this voluptuous, graduate, Victorian-pirate bartender and has this ship, dream, fantasy, drink, that she wants to share with the world...

PHILOSOPHY

I try to be prepared for everything all the time, and am pleasantly surprised when I'm not!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to make art, and I love to bring art to people. Right now I am pretty fascinated with rubber stamps but Mod Podge always gets me!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

AWESOME!! It's really wonderful that people let you into their homes and lives to share their experience in a new place. I think I'm in love...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bungee Jumped off of Karawau Bridge, in NZ, where the action was invented.
Bought knock-off 'Bapes' in Shenzen and then had anxiety about being robbed in the NYC subway.
Walked around Ularu, Red Center, AUS
Went scuba diving in the great barrier reef.
Hang glided in Byron Bay!!
Made a sweet hunting knife in Barrytown, NZ (beat it out of hard steel by fire and hammer, carved the hilt out of wood)
Been to MARDI GRAS (well almost)

Teach, Learn, Share

From a journal of traveling six months in Australia and then a little bit of New Zealand:
Things I learned today:

1. Paua is really easy to find on the beaches (in NZ)

2. A Python can eat a person- (the artist in The Wood Gallery had a 13 year old article with a picture of a boy being ingested)

3. A town can have a population of two and be called 'Puke'

4. You can sell painted rocks for a living

5. They use tin oxide to polish the greenstone.

6. Sandflies suck.

7. Clothespinse and/or hangers are good for road trips.

8. Pasta sauce always tastes better doctored.

Happy wanders.
