About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to see mount Rainier as often as possible...

ABOUT ME

I'm into traveling and people and food and listening. I enjoy getting my hands dirty in vegetable gardens, I could talk about the Enneagram for hours, and right now my favorite thing is cooking dinner slowly.
recently moved to Seattle and am still getting to know the place~~~ So far I love the energy of the city, when the cascades expose themselves, and the inordinate amount of Pho.

PHILOSOPHY

"You wanna go somewhere? You wanna be somebody? Then you better sit down and pay attention." -Whoopi Goldberg

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed around the world a bit, and I've had a bunch of surfers on my couch over the years. They have been great, interesting, enriching experiences. This site is such a wonderful tool!

Interests

i live for good music, fresh vegetables, long conversation, green tea, and the sun (the sun is really important- dont forget that).

  • dining
  • cooking
  • traveling
  • music

Music, Movies, and Books

I love movies like the ones Werner Herzog makes,
I love experimental music and post rock music and electronic music and pop music and I'm a sucker for soundtracks.
So far I've liked Salinger's words, Rumi and Billy Collins' poetry, and East of Eden will always have me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've skinny dipped in bioluminescent water off the coast of western Thailand, and it was AMAZING. Like magical blue sparkling I-can't-believe-this-is-happening amazing.

Countries I’ve Visited

Armenia, Canada, China, Ecuador, Indonesia, Israel, Netherlands, Romania

Countries I’ve Lived In
