CURRENT MISSION

What is going on??? Where am I and is forcing me to learn about bond evaluations really necessary?

ABOUT ME

I call myself Babs (which is a shorter form of my pet name), here, in the US. I'm a student at present, and would love to be one for the rest of my life. Although, most days, I just want to float about in a delicious stupor caused by a couple of good novels, some great music and a plate of chocolates and maybe some cheese.
And then dream wonky, weird dreams that I'll remember in the morning.
I love to travel. I love being immersed in experiences. And I rarely take photos because what I remember is so much more beautiful.
I am reticent, introverted and shy - but very verbose. Right, so, not if I'm in the right kind of social situation, it just takes me some time. I used to worry about that, I don't anymore.
I love dogs. Specially the big ones, I miss my two Labs back home tons! I adore cats and want one desperately. I'm trying to woo a cat that keeps appearing outside my apartment, all she allows me is a quick pet and then she abandons me. Sigh.
I like my pizza cold and clammy - just outa the 'fridge.
So I understand if you have a different point of view. I have opinions on all sorts of things, I'll listen to yours too, but don't see what one has got to do with the other.
I think people find it disconcerting that I smile a lot (been told that) - but dammit I'm happy, I smile.

PHILOSOPHY

I think we're all born into this life cycle to learn something. When you learn it, you lived a fulfilled life and when you're born again, you learn something new. So, I believe I should keep an open mind, not compare my life to another's and be happy, love it all and smile at the moon occasionally.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to host someone, but I'm in student housing now, so I can't. I will host short-notice requests, if you want to; we have a couch. I can, however, help out anyone who wants to travel in South India. I love temples and the little cities in South India. Its history is in those places. So, if I can help you with that, I'd love to. I'm hoping to take part in more local CS stuff in Rochester once my schedule eases up a little in Summer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Totally fun and fabulous maiden CS voyage with Arwyn, Moe and Sophia in Boston. I'm a CS-er for life!!! Outside of this organisation though, my family has hosted travellers before.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'll give every kind of music a listen-to once and I'll listen to an album I like over and over for months on end, until I find the next one.
I love movie scores, nothing better to give your life some drama.
Can't say I like movies much, prefer books.
I also love to read - mostly I like Fantasy and Science Fiction. I've been reading Herman Hesse recently and cried my way through it, just because it makes so much sense. Secretly though, I also love conspiracy type novels (the kind where alligators live in the sewers of New York City and are an advanced race with the cure to cancer).
