About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To finish college, and to cast away and find an anchor

ABOUT ME

On stage, I can be whoever I want to be. In real life, I’m rather shy during the first impression or two, but I generally soften up soon enough. I’m crazy about Elvis, I love a daring adventure and the reckless grins and kisses that go with them, and I enjoy a useless debate that can go on for hours.

In my opinion a high point of fashion is my dad’s old hockey shirt. I love to play hockey with my dad, and these days I play rugby quite a lot when the pond ent frozen. I’m willing to try anything at least once, but swore off meat long ago.

I belong in the sea. Really I'm like a mermaid, and feel lost and forlorn without the Atlantic nearby. Sparing that, I hope on my motorcycle and ride. I act and contra dance. I'm a bookworm, but for now I am lost in a literary limbo, I don't know what to read these days. But look to my movies and books as a form of escapism, the more farfetched the better. I love puttering in my vegetable garden and cooking vegetarian wonders that leave people wondering why they eat meat in the first place.

PHILOSOPHY

Whatever happens, happens

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a wannabe surfer, wwoofer, host, looking for my niche

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None, really. Just with friends of mine, hanging out with them

Interests

Acting
Adventures (especially the ones with a basic outline and an empty wallet)... Stories of wanderlust and pirates, of summer winds and kerchiefs on a stick, sleeping under the stars
The ocean.. always
Chloe, my cat
Cooking food that makes people mildly regret not being a vegetarian...
Conversation, people who come to me first... Creativity
Dreams
The smell of a campfire... myths, magic, and moon glow
Motorcycles (Mickey you’re so fine, and eventually we shall go far, if dad doesn't sell you first),
Talking to trees, just hanging out with them

Nobody's perfect, friends, nobody's perfect. It's finding what goes with your perception of perfection that matters
