About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To finish my degree and hit the road!!

ABOUT ME

If I say that I'm an outgoing person, does that make me a hypocrite during those moments when I just want to be alone? It's hard to describe my "self" because the self is an illusion. We are not a thing, we are an event. From birth to death every cell in our bodies is in constant flux, and our experiences and environments are always changing us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host a bit. I also make people laugh. When I get my act together I'll do more. Charity begins on my own couch. Who needs some charity?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed and I've hosted. Read my references. I've hosted a lot more than I have surfed, but that will change soon. Hosting and surfing are both wonderful experiences. You learn and grow from them. I'm grateful to CS for affording me that chance and my best wish is that the contribution I make as a human being is a positive one.

Interests

Travel, Languages/Linguistics, Culture, Race, Spirituality, Gender Studies, Queer and Sex theory. Most recently, screenwriting. The nagging, lagging quest to become a fully conscious entity.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The sublimely simple things: a breezy fall day in Kalamazoo, Michigan the wind picked up and for a split second the world disappeared and I was completely ensconced in a spiral of purple leaves. If I had blinked I would have missed it. That was the first time I realized how important it is to be AWAKE. I'm still trying to wake up.
