Pretty energetic but I cycle to low-key during the wee hours. I love the outdoors, and prefer walking over driving. I love food! Trying new foods or home-cooked meals is so great. I tend to be open to all people and places, and prefer to wait until I have a feeling about something to make a decision. There's joy to be found from a cup of coffee to a beautiful sunrise. I love meeting people that don't think like me; in the same breath I love when I meet those who do have similar thoughts or hobbies. I love sharing stories, making new ones, hiking, camping, getting lost, writing, painting, philosophy, science, art, history, music, coffee, beer, wine, Buddhism, and creating anything my hands can make.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Local friends, hands down. I love the authenticity and individuality of the people Ive met on here.

Interests

Food, adventure, conversation

Music, Movies, and Books

AURORA, Tash Sultana, Sticky Fingers, Sufjan Stevens, Tallest Man on Earth, Twin Shadow, psychedelic sounds... For books I like reading about Buddhism, philosophy, or something like a memoir. Victorian romance novels/movies are a guilty pleasure. Love any movie psychology focused, quirky or satirical. Love studio Ghibli movies as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Gosh I really don’t know what counts, but traveling alone across the world is not common where I’m from so I’ll take that as pretty dang amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know some about gardening and info about plants/herbs, I know fluent English and I love sharing knowledge about languages, I speak a little German as well. I love cooking and painting, practicing yoga I can share any of that with you if you’d like. I basically am a jack of all trades, knowing a little about a lot. Some things more than others, especially art/food related.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Culture, essential oil and herb infusing, painting, drawing, meditation practices, facts about plants, cooking some meals, laughter hopefully, or just some pleasant conversation.
