CURRENT MISSION

sleep in new cities, eat from different markets, dance with new friends

ABOUT ME

Food, friends and family, honest music and good books are what I value most. Cooking with good people, biking in the city, thrifting for sparkly stuff and dancing with myself are my favorite things to do. I work for a non-profit. I am a burlesque dancer. I am interested in meeting people I can learn from (everyone), doing things I haven't done before and generally collecting as much knowledge (theoretical and experiential) as I can at all times. Also, I have a very fancy little cat.

PHILOSOPHY

Stop trying to figure out the right answer because there probably isn't one. Be as happy as possible as often as possible and embrace the challenges of life as well as their rewards.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in a great city in a nice house with a couple of couches and a few roommates who are down to host good people. Also, I will be embarking on a two month tour across most of America in Fall '11 and would like to meet some good people with friendly couches along the way.
