CURRENT MISSION

follow my heart, all-ways

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

here and there I (and maybe my partner and/or son) need a place to crashon our travels.

currently my son (2) and I are traveling to Phoenix, AZ and back on a cat-saving mission (long story), and need some places along the way we can stay.

Interesses

playing and listening to music, reading, and writing. being with my son, and his friends. working in other people's gardens. doing other people's dishes xD meeting people, making connections. I like to climb things, like ropes and poles and walls and mountains and trees and hills and tall people. meditating. singing. PETTING LOS GATOS.

Músicas, Filmes e Livros

ooh, lots of new favorites the last couple years .. just read "Good Omens" by Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaiman, that was good. The Language of Flowers, that hit home.
anything by Ursula LeGuin. Classic, Harry Potter series, and the Hunger Games trilogy. I still haven't read Lord of the Rings, I'm sure that's coming for me next.

music, I gravitate towards folksy stuff cuz that's more what I play, but I also love soul, R&B, hip hop and rap and a little bit of EDM if I'm in the bouncing mood. reggae's dece, the baby loves it more than I do. I love kids music, like Raffi, and Jewel's kids album.

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

I gave birth at home with only my partner; that was an exhilarating and empowering experience beyond all description (though I have written about it, if you're interested.)

All the mountains in Oslo, Norway - the view was indescribable. We rode a trolley-type car up the side of a mountain, the steepest climb I've ever traveled. I was scared shitless that the car would come loose from the seemingly feeble cable it was attached to, but we survived. I stared at that landscape for an hour. It's the first view that ever made me cry, honestly. I could see all of Norway, and I'm told parts of Sweden.

I went to New Orleans in Louisiana, and I met some of the kindest and most hospitable people. In my experience, the people in the worst and most difficult living situations are often the nicest, most compassionate, generous, and hospitable people. It is when you have "little" that you realize you've got it all, and that it's all to share.
