Ahoy! My name's J~T, Jackie-Teresa for long. By my side along my travels include my pack, gear within, and a guitar at the side (with a gallon of water + water filter). Presently I am looking to travel around the NE coast for a moment, visit family in NY once more then head out to Asheville, NC to live and work for about a month or so then coming back to NY to hibernate for a period of time before exploring once more!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Generally finding squat spots are my thing, but as the weather gets colder (and as I travel more north), I may need to find shelter indoors rather than outside for the sake of my health and toes (poor circulation). Thus, I am here! Where I travel to, I don't know yet (aside from the upcoming journey to Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, NY): but I'm here, now and it's beautiful~ always

Music, Movies, and Books

Music //// Classic artists~ The Beatles, Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, RHCP, Jimi Hendrix, Santana; but basically, any artist expressing soul or their heart I admire, cherish, generally love ; Appreciation for each artist, modern country is the only type, aside from Dubstep and electronic and sometimes metal, I dislike.

As an empath, energy affects me easier than it does for other beings. I cannot handle movies or television a lot of the time; also it makes the above music choices of electronic, dubstep, and metal hard to be around. It's hard to be around modern popular songs too; I am simply just not as fluid of a being and need to leave the space.

Books~ The Bhagavad Gita, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, Lame Deer: Seeker of Visions, ;;;; health books, energy books, spiritual books, scientific books (pending upon subject), herbalism books, they're each delightful
