I'm generally relaxed, chill, congenial, and down for spontaneous adventures.

To offer a bit more...
-> I fantasize about being a person who communicates openly and honestly---creating spaces that might inspire other folks like they inspire me.
-> I tried to be an open-minded person for a long time, not realizing that going from closed to open requires a great deal of effort. So, I can't promise that I'm open to everything, but I'm super down to practice and experiment.
-> When I ask a question, I am sincerely interested in your answer (though, I try not to hold expectations about receiving one).
-> Some times I want the headiest of conversations about the BIG questions, during others I just want to wrestle and dance. Some days I'm guided by life philosophies, but I'm wary of philosophies that aren't accompanied by actionable trajectories.
-> I'm new to this CS experience, and I haven't often traveled. But, I'm excited for the opportunity to establish a solid connection with the places I visit; CS seems like a good way to facilitate that connection occurring with an actual person.
->-> Along those lines, I'm pretty content to be by myself. So, if I'm a surfer and you're a host, I don't expect you to guide my explorations of a city. Though, if I really preferred being alone I could just find a room in a hostel. So, whatever you feel compelled to offer of yourself, home, or community will be appreciated (but, see second point). I'll strive to meet that and be present with you.
