CURRENT MISSION

to have fun

ABOUT ME

i like to be outdoors as much as possible. and dancing. and drinking wine by fires of all shapes and sizes.

PHILOSOPHY

be kind. it's never a bad idea to smile and be kind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

making massaged kale salads and it's-funny-because-it's-true jokes for those kind enough to open their homes to nomadic gypsies like myself. sincerely, thank you.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i've met some really great, genuine people, slept in beds on rooftops, explored new cities, and made great connections.

Music, Movies, and Books

anything kurt vonnegut, haruki murakami (especially kafka on the shore), ishmael, paulo cuelo stuff, half-blacked-out cia documents.

i really love world music, got into afro-brazilian and folk music more recently.

hedwig and the angry inch is a great movie, i like musicals, turns out. the mirror mask as well. and of course wes anderson's work is beautiful.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

saw a giant python take a giant poop in vietnam.
saw a goat have babies in mexico.
hit a cow in lao on a moto.
bay-to-breakers marathon san francisco in a mere 6 or 7 hours--many ice cream, peeing, and tree climbing breaks included.

Teach, Learn, Share

take the good, leave the bad--i.e. choose happiness.
think about it. but don't think too much.
be sincere, not serious.
nothing is inherently good or bad. it is what it is.

la gente siempre me preguntan 'porque viajas solita?' y les digo-cuando estas solo, estas con todo.

si te toca, ni aunque te quites. si no, ni aunque te pongas.

What I Can Share with Hosts

i enjoy helping people with their language skills in English or in Spanish. i like to have casual yoga sessions with people who would like to do some stretching or experience the benefits of prana-yama.
