About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To seek out and understand the eccentricities, however slight, in all of the people, places, and experiences that I come across.

ABOUT ME

I strive for a peaceful existence and an unobtrusive, non-invasive presence. I am quiet, I am shy. I enjoy to watch and listen to gain understanding of all things. At times my minds processes prevent me from existing in the present, and so I constantly practice stillness within. I have a passion for fire dancing, particularly with staffs and mini staffs.

Also I love to cook, mostly vegetarian.

PHILOSOPHY

Love each other.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While I am unable to offer a couch to stay on at the moment, I hope to participate in the future by offering a safe home base for fellow travelers. I hope to share my experiences and peaceful ideals to those that I meet with.

Also, again, I love to cook.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed a handful of times during my travels with friends. Each one of my hosts has been incredibly accommodating, and has done their best to share their style of fun and exploration with me.

Interests

My primary interests are prop dancing (more general term for fire dancing with tools that are not necessarily on fire) and video gaming. Beyond fire dancing for performance purposes, I find that it is one of few activities that allows me to achieve a strong meditative flow, one which clears my mind and keeps darkness at bay. I also enjoy experiencing and creating art. My own mediums include clothing design and creation, drawing, pixel art, and the creation of contact swords and contact staffs out of bamboo.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm pretty young and haven't done much. I guess I spent some time traveling, couchsurfing, and doing the occasional farming. That seems pretty standard on this site tho. Also I dance with things that are on fire.

Teach, Learn, Share

Fire dancing and fire safety. How to dress to look like an anime/video game character.
