About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Keep on walking, keep on eating.

ABOUT ME

I'm easily excitable. I'm very curious and fascinated by details. I'm learning more and more how important friendship is to me, as well as how easy it is to make friends. I'm eccentric but well grounded, and am deeply passionate about certain things. Peace, puppets, loved ones, theater, these are some of the things I hold most dear. I like all things dark weird and humorous, but like to think of myself as an optimist at heart.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe very strongly that if you care, you should act. Nothing ever changed for the better from apathy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing and hosting, what else?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just spent the summer surfing Europe, now it's time to give back!

Interests

Theatre of all kinds. If it can be put on stage, I like it. The same goes for music and dance; nothing gives me more joy. Yoga...ooh, it feels so good. Politics, the environment, sustainability, oh, beer, but not just any beer, tasty beer...mmm, delicious vegetarian food. And I never met an animal with fur that I didn't like, plus turtles. Star Trek (Dorky, I know, but I'd be lying if denied it.).
