CURRENT MISSION

To move around as much as humanly possible

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment - surfing. When I get home, hosting! Teaching English, learning Spanish. Being a decent and respectful houseguest, making sure to clean up after myself and help out wherever I can.

Interests

Reading, writing poetry and random existential musings, learning how to play the ukulele. Want to study to become a psychotherapist!
Yoga and meditation, listening to music, singing, dancing literally anywhere there is good music including grocery stores, walking around pretty wilderness, running, hiking, biking, exploring, eattttttting. Watching sad movies and crying my eyes out, watching movies that make me question existence, watching movies that make me laugh my ass off. Cracking jokes and making people laugh. Learning about what makes people tick.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Joshua Tree national park was a climbers paradise with all these piles of granite boulders to scramble up and around -
Jedediah State park with all the 2000 year old redwood trees - astounding -
very humbling as a mere human being bumbling around in all this soft vulnerable flesh like a little earthworm.

I recently climbed up a palm tree to score some dates (they were a little dry - I think other folks had picked the juicier ones!) :)
