CURRENT MISSION

I just want to enjoy everything there is to enjoy in life.

ABOUT ME

You should be prepared to find me talkative, goofy, open-minded, kind-hearted, curious, slightly maternal, a little tired, and maybe funny.

PHILOSOPHY

I genuinely feel that everything in life and the experience of life is subjective and that the only objective entity is death. I don't believe in dwelling on all the differences among our own lives in comparison to others - if anything I want to know as much as possible about them because I just find it all so compelling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My roommate and I are ready to host people in our apartment!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't have any surfing experience yet! Hoping to host a decent amount of people in the next year or so and then go surf in late 2014.

Interests

People and entertainment media. I like to dive into conversation about the dynamics of both.

In a more general sense, things I enjoy include but are not limited to: Nerdfighteria, Irish culture, sunshine, dancing, drinking, southern culture, traveling, puppies, swimming, children, pick-up trucks and Volkswagen vans, food, going to concerts, cooking/baking/making coffee, sleeping, Italian culture, film, tv, wandering around aimlessly.

Teach, Learn, Share

Things I could share... well, I could probably teach you some English. I can offer alot of discussion in regards to the world of entertainment media and all of the subcultures that come along with it. I can definitely teach you how to cook and will be ecstatic to have someone to cook for.

I'd love to learn ASL, any new language, photography, any instrument (I will be most impressed if you succeed in this), meditation, and the like.

Important to note: odds are, if I'm surfing with you - I REALLY want to learn what you love most about your city/town/village/neighborhood/community/friends/career/life/etc.
