Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Continue to create. Build community wherever I am. Make the most of what precious moments I encounter. Be kind to my body. Take on more responsibility.
ABOUT ME
I am a mild mannered open minded young female with a cool head in hectic situations. I savor silence but also relish in live music, performances and social gatherings. I believe I am forever a student of the universe and live to learn.
PHILOSOPHY
Bumble Be
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To participate in an alternative societal paradigm. When I have safe space to share I am willing to do so and would love to meet others with a similar perspective in this regard :)
Interests
My favorite thing to do is walk, I have hiked the John Muir Trail and I spend much of my free time hiking. I love plants and am very interested in identifying, gathering and processing medicinal and edible plants for application. When visiting a new place, I am most interested in discovering it's history and culture. I am always reading a book. Dancing to live music and swimming are my other two favorite things to do.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music: The Grateful Dead, Courtney Barnett, The Murlocs, select hip-hop, lots of calm instrumental and anything funk/soul
Books: Good novels, true life stories, history, informative
Movies: I like the independent film variety; Honeyland is one of my favorite films, Wes Anderson films, The Dark Crystal, The Never Ending Story (also one of the greatest children’s fantasy books!) I like prison movies like Animal Factory. Anything that provokes introspection and consideration of the human condition.
