I spun around chasing my tail for a little bit, learned a few cool things about the universe, and then got dizzy and fell over to realize I'm just super lucky being here on Earth with all the other Earthlings. But my twitching tail still catches my eye now and then...

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

To meet all of you wonderful charming mysterious collections of stardust and feelings, giving and receiving with the joy of a child feeding a duckling. Same reason I'm on the planet I guess?

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Spent a week in Dharamshala with Tibetan monks playing soccer, sharing riddles, and exploring connections between Buddhism and Quantum mechanics (scienceformonks.org).

Also, I danced my PhD! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Xo_5e-xNP8

Чем я могу поделиться с хостами

If you like to cook together, I'll be your bumbling sous-chef -- giving a strong voice to the spices of cinnamon and cumin and washing the dishes to wash the dishes.

Nonviolent / Compassionate / Resonant communication is the coolest thing in the world and probably is going to save the planet. If you need a dose of pragmatic optimism about the world, I'll do my best to inject it.

I'm an enthusiastic and resourceful adventure companion :)
