I think life is better without plans: I keep myself and others on their feet. I love to travel and experience the world outside myself, including backpacking, climbing, and getting lost while driving. I am most passionate about vlogging, film, and photography. I like long conversations, and getting booted out of places for carrying on too long. I especially love driving hours away from the cities with my telescope and spending the night under the stars. I cook like an angel, I cosplay, and I build all of my own computers. I am a nerd-geek-thing, well-rounded, relatively well-educated (went for my Ph.D. in astrophysics [no longer a student due to past autoimmune issues]), and I have been told that I hold myself quite well. I enjoy who I am, and I am generally willing to make a change when I find a flaw.

My liberal arts interests are vast... I adore the movies, music, writing... all forms of human expression. Musically, I listen to all genres, and appreciate all content, even the bad ones. I see goodness and a chance to learn in everything. I want depth of ability in my music through lyrics or composition. I sing opera, I model, I shoot pictures and film, I play quite a few instruments (cello and piano being my primary instruments), I adore philosophy, religion, and science, and especially their discussion, which I do NOT have enough of in my life.

I do not smoke, I do not drink, I am not a partier.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently in Italy and travelling around Europe to improve my photography and vlogging skills. I'd love to meet new people with an interest in photography, and new people in general.
