ABOUT ME

"There are certain things which one is unable to believe for the simple reason that he never ceases to feel them. Things of this sort- things which are always inside of us and which consequently will not be pushed off or away where we can begin thinking about them- are no longer things; they, and the us which they are, equals a VERB; an IS."
-e.e. cummings

Sorry to be so enigmatic, but I'm not really sure I can describe myself adequately. I get along with just about everyone though, so why don't you meet me and find out for yourself?

PHILOSOPHY

Neither war nor peace, but life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately I'm unable to host people, but I'd be happy to share my city with fellow newcomers! Let's adventure!

Interests

Just about everything fascinates me, but especially foreign languages, religion, philosophy and art. I could talk about teaching forever if there were no one to stop me.

Generally, I enjoy exercising, reading, eating salad and chocolate, talking over coffee, going on long walks, warm places and of course traveling.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm currently reading Gods of the Upper Air by Charles King.

The most recent mix on my Spotify is Lizzo and Taylor Swift inspired.

I don't really watch TV.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed Mount Fuji! It was the most simultaneously wonderful/miserable experience of my life. My next great adventure/challenge will be to... who knows! Let me know if you have any recommendations.

In Taiwan, I happened upon a Buddhist temple where hundreds of women were chanting to Quan Yin, the bodhisattva of compassion. Being surrounded by so many fervently devoted women was a really powerful experience.
