CURRENT MISSION

To continue ambling along and letting my mysterious mission unfold around me.

ABOUT ME

I suppose I could list here all my passions and general observations on life, but since those typically change with the seasons, I think I'll refrain.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and Let Live. Very Literally.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I consider couch requests as they come through.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't have any just yet!

兴趣

I love to be doing anything outside: walking, hiking, gardening, bicycling, swimming, or just watching the leaves float by. As far as quiet, indoor pursuits: drinking coffee, baking, & reading. Skating and dancing are high on the list too... but they can be done where ever the mood strikes. And of course, I love to sing at the top of my lungs to the collection of cave crickets in my garage.

Learning about and achieving a more sustainable lifestyle is high on my interest list, as well. I love talking with others who incorporate ways of living more lightly on the Earth into the context of their lives. I certainly haven't accomplished all I could do in the aspect; but pursuing new methods of living more intentionally is very exciting.
I also love debate, coffee, Hawaii, gymnastics, Disney World, philosophy, theatre, chocolate, antagonizing, and of course, cheese.

音乐、电影和书籍

Movies: I really don't watch much... but when I do, I typically like a good cheesy comedy.

Music: Classic Rock, Funk, Jazz, Indie Rock, Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, Jason Mraz, James Morrison, MIKA, Jack Johnson, ABBA, and Showtunes!

Books: I really like science fiction novels with underlying spirituality/social responsibility themes. I love Abraham-Hicks inspirational books regarding spirituality. Tom Robbins is my favorite author -- "Still Life with Woodpecker," is the greatest book ever written.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I had the opportunity to hang out at about 1500 ft in the air, gliding toward Earth and watched a hawk about 20 yards away swoop, glide, and generally play around me for a good 2-3 minutes. It was an incredibly magical experience to hear the silence, feel the curiosity, and be enveloped in the same atmosphere as such an awe inspiring creature.

教，学，和分享

Hmm... I have lots of things I'd love to share... but I suppose I would encourage people to check out two amazing organizations that have touched my life. Perhaps, if they're interesting to you, you could even arrange a visit on your next couch surfing adventure!
