Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i'm mostly interested in surfing right now (my current apartment's pretty small and slummy), but i am willing to host people who don't mind slanted floors and big fat cats.

Interests

music, reading, writing, biking, libraries, trying to play the guitar, conversing, meeting new people, comics, good food (i'm a pescatarian...or whatever they call people who eat fish but no other meat), Amnesty International, Progressive Librarians Guild, zines, nature, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

riding the train across the country - i don't know if this is "amazing" as much as "enlightening." you haven't truly ridden a train until you've ridden it 25+ hours next to a snoring nun.

the desert and mountains in southern new mexico - very beautiful.

Teach, Learn, Share

i know a lot about yoga, nutrition and alternative healing, and books.

i'm learning guitar and could always use tips, and i'm always interested in learning new things about languages and cooking.
