About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be open.

ABOUT ME

I am clean, really clean. There, I said it.

I appreciate people who are considerate and respectful and I try to offer the same in return. My general temperment is pretty easy-going; I tend be the listener rather than the talker. I love to laugh good hearty, belly-aching laughs.

I appreciate good design. I recycle my ziploc bags. I turn off lights. I am not a picky eater, unless it's melted cheese. I am not afraid of spiders unless they are the size of my face. I love to drink water and coffee.

PHILOSOPHY

Be mindful. Be present.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I met some great people in Japan and South Korea, but I have yet to actually surf a couch or host.

None yet.

Interests

I like dancing. I like physicality in general. I am down for a run, a hike, some camping, a bike ride, a canoe ride, horseback riding, martial arts, skydiving, swimming, cartwheels, lunges & squats.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Anime, Game of Thrones, House of Cards...

I tend to listen to electronic music (all kinds), but I am not bound by musical genres.

I really like David Sedaris, Dave Eggers and Chuck Palahniuk. Plus classic Science Fiction/Fantasy books like Dune, Enders Game and His Dark Materials.
