CURRENT MISSION

One must have chaos within oneself if one is to be a dancing star...

ABOUT ME

I am still trying to figure out my "all about you" section. I doubt I will know all about me anytime soon. But here are some things I do know :)
I love peanut butter. My favorite flowers are daisies. I think love really does make the world go round. It can also grind it to a halt. I believe in strength and courage. I believe in people who believe in themselves. I think you can change your life, with a little strength, a little courage, and, if you need it, a little push.

PHILOSOPHY

“We all want to break our orbits, float like a satellite gone wild in space, run the risk of disintegration. We all want to take our lives in our own hands and hurl them out among the stars.”
–David Bottoms

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope soon I can lend my couch to people who are traveling, so that one day I can sleep on their couches!
Right now I'm just trying to get the feel of this place, but so far I like it a lot!

Interests

Architecture, running, writing, rivers, collages, art in general, dogs, dancing (particularly salsa), I want to learn to play the guitar, I love the intensity of rowing (crew) and the nonchalance of rowing (on a river). I like travel and I like living in new places and meeting new people. I want to speak spanish fluently and I want to take lots of pictures.

Music- My favorite right now is The Postal Service, though I am into almost everything (excepting hard rock and techno)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

DONE: Rowing a boat through the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. Rowing in a 2,000 meter crew race. Study abroad in Spain.

SEEN: Sintra, Portugal. The Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain. Flamenco dancing in Granada, Spain.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, if you ever want to know how to use an ergometer (those crazy rowing machines they have in all the gyms) I would be happy to help you learn!
I want to learn about art and love. And Latin America (for some reason I am very intrigued...)
