About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Adventure. Joyously. I am in the process of expanding myself by venturing around this dear world of mine, in both to help me choose my next steps and to open myself to the world to show me what I need to see.
ABOUT ME
Every day is the best day ever.
I'm unreasonably optimistic with a failure to keep my mouth shut. I have wonder in my eye and a dreadful need to keep exploring. This doesn't keep me in one place for long but always keeps me coming back.
I am quite silly.
I'm occupy my time with politics and social justice kinds of things. I'm actually studying economics, in hopes to make some positive ripples around the world.
I enjoy interacting in situations that can be challenging- learning new things, diversity, etc. I try to avoid assumption, but in return often ask questions.
And I can get down with some karaoke.
PHILOSOPHY
"There is no use in trying," said Alice; "one can't believe impossible things." "I dare say you haven't had any practice," said the Queen. "Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
I aim for the "impossible" everyday, and somehow manage to get exactly what I need. I believe in positive thought and that impossible occurs only when you believe it exists. I believe you make your life with your thoughts and attitudes, so I'm going to make mine awesome.

with hugs.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Just call me Bambi.
I'm new, but enthusiastic about a (quite large) community of people who are so willing to give what they can and ask for what they need. I really look forward to the adventures we will have together.
Interests
community building, reading, exploring the unexplored, alternative (insert culture here), dancing, what you have to say, mashed potatoes, political action, making lists, coloring books, living inner city, dreaming in the canyons, silly crafts, getting dirty, and my toenails being painted red.

Music, Movies, and Books
This is rough, so I'll just kick a few ideas out there for you. They must change everyday though.
Arrested Development (not a movie, but I'll take it), Boy A, Stranger than Fiction
Blondie, Band of Horses, Benny Benassi
The Little Prince, Cunt, Illusions
BAM.
Teach, Learn, Share
We are forever learning. I hope I have a few tricks up my sleeves, but I believe everyday adventures are one of the few ways to find where they are.
So, what can I teach? I never really thought about it. And what do I want to learn? I'm not sure about that either. I imagine it just appears.
BUT, I happen to be rather crafty and into DIY things.
And I'm in the market for a Spanish Teacher.
