CURRENT MISSION

To observe. To play. To live.

ABOUT ME

**I will be traveling with my best friend Kaya come June. http://www.couchsurfing.org/people/lithinage/**

I am a vegetarian, simply because I dislike the idea that something else has to have died in order to nourish me. I'm a ridiculously avid reader. I spend a lot of my time being physically active: walking, yoga, Pilates, bike riding, dancing, and theater. Most of my time is dedicated to theater and acting.

I'm a light drinker, and I don't smoke. I am an insomniac, which plays heavily in the amount I read.

PHILOSOPHY

Live, let live. Loyalty, dedication "And above else, to thine own self be true" - Hamlet, Shakespeare.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would rather meet local people than a whole bunch of tourists at a youth hostel. I'm interested in the details of a persons culture and day-to-day life and surroundings. To be able to fully appreciated the ying-yang in our different culture and lives.

I think it would be really wonderful and fun to become a host when I'm on my own two feet in the world.

Interests

Theater of course is my passion.

Literature. Meeting new people. Travel (obviously). Shakespeare. Astronomy, don't know anything about it. Paintings. Boys. Baking. Exotic good food. Tea.

Music, Movies, and Books

Oh gosh this is so hard. For books I always tell people, "anything and everything." I'm not very easily pleased with books, but I am with Music and Movies. You know something is bad if I don't like it.
My music taste is heavily influenced by my surroundings, I listen to what's popular with the people in my life. As for movies I enjoyed March of the Penguins. This probably has something to do with the fact that I am obsessed with penguins. I liked Shakespeare in Love, but I wouldn't say it was a favorite of mine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A blizzard this past Christmas. Between twenty five to thirty inches of snow. Weather can be remarkable, can't it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a pro at vegan/gluten free baking.

I want to learn exactly what people DON'T like about Americans so I can avoid these traits.
