CURRENT MISSION

after 21 years of consecutive education, i'm embarking on a few months of backpacking to explore the many corners of the world i've only seen from my computer screen. i'm looking forward to enriching my life by making new friends, revisiting old ones, and bringing my karma to net positive by spreading some good ole peace, love and nonjudgmental vibes.

ABOUT ME

i'm a minimalist who gets bored with homogeneity. my ideal friends respect and broaden the lens through which i view the world.

artistically inclined from the womb, i like to get messy with paint and pens, sing on-key (mostly), and dance overenthusiastically. i try to avoid staying too many consecutive days in city environments and never fail to look and act like a wide-eyed child in the presence of a glittering night sky, a lush forest or a soft-sanded beach.

PHILOSOPHY

"be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1. i am a social being. i have never lived solo and prefer roommates. i want to learn and teach and mostly dance and eat and laugh. all of these activities are better (and some only possible) in the presence of others.

2. i'm ridiculously in debt due to the many years of education i've accumulated, and want to extend my time abroad for as long as possible.

Music, Movies, and Books

i've enjoyed russian literature, kurt vonnegut, ray bradbury, malcolm gladwell. my current readings are mainly sourced through social media and range from articles on encounters with serial killers to psychadelic retreats.

i like movies that are cinematically gorgeous, subtle and unassuming, push the boundaries, pay attention to detail.

musically inclined towards catch words such as atmospheric, blues, 90's alternative rock, underground, funk, soul.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

meeting erykah badu, hugging her, and smoking hookah with her.

Teach, Learn, Share

agreed.

What I Can Share with Hosts

dance moves! can cook some and share musings about mental health, psychology, stories acquired from not shying away from spontaneous road trips and ignoring trespass signs. will love on your pets (if you have them).

also i'm very clean, travel with almost no luggage, and am oh so ready to help out with chores. let's do this :)
