ABOUT ME

Among other things, I'm a: curious explorer, recorder of details and complexities, avid listener and talker, guilty television watcher, perpetual questioner (and occasional answerer), Scorpio-Libra cusp(er), especially good sleeper, wavering believer in the mystical and supernatural, sometimes distracted reader, fortunate eater and cooker, dedicated bicycle rider, meticulous zine-maker, forever a writer and observer.

Right now, I am an an educator of angsty teenagers in Madrid, which is sometimes awesome and sometimes not.

PHILOSOPHY

do things that scare me, listen to stories, keep learning always

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

life

but really, once I biked ~100 miles in a day and ended up face-to-face with America (and Canada's) most splendid body of water, LAKE SUPERIOR

Last summer I walked the Camino del Norte from Irun to Santiago...who knew that walking over 500 miles could be so easy and yet enormously difficult?? But hanging out with the sea + forest + mountains all summer while gathering blisters and attempting ~3 languages and drinking all the sidra+wine and chatting with fellow peregrinos, what a time! It's something I'd love to do once more someday

In general I find it amazing when I/others do something that seems impossible and go on to tell a magnificent tale of the adventure, I'm trying to make that happen more and more often
