About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be completely and utterly lost.

ABOUT ME

I have self respect from here to mars. Write me letters. My cat is named Bread. I am learning French, and accordion. My worst subject is behaving myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm surfing, vagabonding, maybe one day I'll settle down long enough to host someone again.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have yet to have a negative experience with a surfer or as a surfer; through the site or through the world.

Interests

I have been reading about how we came to be the way we are. With books on the evolutionary advantages of love; the nature of consciousness; the back and forth that art and science have in building our understanding of ourselves and the world, I am learning more about who I am by learning about who we are.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My best first date was watching the sunrise from the top of a hill, and the city below us was a basin of fog.

Ahhhhh, sunrise.

I've done some of the standard amazing things (skydiving; biking for days across state lines; hiking through the Alps and the Pyrenees) and it was all great, but it seems cliche. Biking across New Hampshire was beautiful though.

Teach: I knit like a fiend, anything anything you want to know, cabling, turning a heel, anything, I can show you how to do it.
