CURRENT MISSION

experiencing life to the absolute fullest through conversation, opportunity, friendship, written word, music and laughter

ABOUT ME

I am a twenty-seven year old writer; intent on experiencing anything at all possible by whatever means possible. I studied Psychology for three years at the University of Texas at San Antonio. After school I packed up and began driving west through Texas following whatever progressive sights and/or symbols inspired me, I stopped in a Pocatello, ID, and stayed. I have since lived in Idaho Falls, ID, Salt Lake City, UT, New York City, NY and Santa Fe, NM.

I am a musician though it is only an inspirational hobby, a means to expand and excite my creativity; I play the guitar, banjo, saxophone, some piano and drums.

I am passionate about: people, love, writing, music, spirituality, conversation, film, art, social interactions, fiction, tea, wines, biking, walking, listening, running, philosophy, hiking, dancing, people watching, eaves-dropping, learning, and just about everything else...

PHILOSOPHY

I believe a true measure of intelligence to be more how you react to and treat people than how much know or of what you know. The only thing everyone has in common is that we share this earth with one another.

... and, semi-metaphorically, Love is like water and we are the fish and a fish cannot exist without water; love can be unexplaniable, and is ofen unbelievable, but do fish believe in water?

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Though I have known of this site for a while I haven't been active as much as I might like, especially recently.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have yet to have a couchsurfing experience however I am listening to Incubus at the moment; does that count for something?

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

a great lesson I have learned that I value and a step that I take pride in was when I decided to pack my Honda with everything I needed and just took off north on a complete whim and began a new life somewhere I wasn't the least bit familiar with.

教，学，和分享

"And since you know you cannot see yourself/So well as by reflection, I your glass/Will modestly discover to yourself/That of yourself which you yet know not of."
~ WIlliam Shakespeare

I believe that above all things I am best at helping people to realize the beauty they have to offer. What they are capable of and help to make it seem doable.

I'd love to learn French, Spanish, Italian. To play the piano, violin and mandolin. To dance, maybe. I'm sure I could go on and on.
