CURRENT MISSION

Pursue my curiosities and continue to expand the circle of people I love.

ABOUT ME

this is a quote that I am drawn to: "the absolute absence of a burden causes man to be lighter than air, to soar into the heights, take leave of he earth and his earthly being, and become only half real" -kundera

PHILOSOPHY

I believe I am an Old Soul although I can't exactly explain what that means – it's a gut feeling...or is that the aged Gouda?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been fortunate enough to surf with my friend and have met some truly lovely people through those experiences. I couldn't resist jumping in, and can't wait for my first guest!

Interests

Sewing, photography with toy cameras, collecting oddities, embroidering, painting, dark chocolate, writing, trash hunting, crafting, making dioramas, sending letters (in the mail with postage!), cheese, reading, general expansion of activities and adventuring...constantly learning & falling to pieces in laughter.

Music, Movies, and Books

Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera, David Berman's poetry collection Actual Air, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Joseph Safran Foer, everything by Edward Gorey or Jack Kerouac....and of course every book I loved as a child; anything by Roald Dahl, Ezra Jack Keats or Nick Bantock among a plethora of others.

Music: if it gets my rump moving, I'm into it

Movies: No one tells a love or unlove story like Woody Allen

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: sewing, knitting, painting...crafting of all sorts!

Learn: I'd love to know some French
