CURRENT MISSION

Eating my fill from the Tree of Knowledge

ABOUT ME

I love to cook, laugh, and dance, I can mix a pretty good drink, and I like to go on adventures.

I'm an ENFP, if you're into the Myers-Briggs thing. (But I definitely toe the T/F line.)

PHILOSOPHY

It's good to be alive. Try everything. Laugh a lot. Dance whenever possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In spirit and solidarity, these days. My life's in transition and I feel like I'm perpetually overbooked, but hopefully things settle down soon and I can start spending time with all the lovely CS faces again soon.

You know how, on CS, you can input the places where you want to go? There isn't an option for everywhere. I want to go everywhere.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have made friends with many fabulous CSers on both sides of the Pacific, and I even got to host a few while I was living in China. I've surfed some great American couches and gone to a few Long Beach meetups, too. Not to mention all the unofficial couch surfing I did throughout college!

Interests

Animals, vegetables, minerals. People, places, things (and ideas).

Beer: brewing and drinking.

Food and drink, the outdoors, dancing (salsa, rueda, cumbia when I'm forced, maybe one day lindy, tango, west coast swing), art, music, and other beautiful, moving things.

I like fun and excitement and drama, I like to relax. I like to see and hear and feel and taste and smell everything, I'm a homebody. I'm complicated.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love documentaries, especially ones that make me laugh. I can watch Rocky Horror Picture Show on an endless loop.

I enjoy discovering new music, dancing to pop music in the car, and singing to classic rock with my dad.

I'll read anything I can get my hands on. Currently stuck on A Song of Ice and Fire.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got naked on the Great Wall.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a fledgling Renaissance Person, a Jack-of-all-trades-but-master-of-none. I'm an expert on only a few topics, but I know a little bit about a whole lot of things.

I'm always looking for dance buddies, language buddies, cooking buddies, drinking buddies, debating buddies.
