CURRENT MISSION

To listen, ride synchronicity and bring people together

ABOUT ME

Hey! Wow I have taken quite the hiatus from this site but looking forward to being able to host soon. I have been going through each section and updating my info. Funny how things can change in 4 years without even realizing it!

I am inspired to do a little before and after:

THEN: worked at a health foods store/juice bar
NOW: works for a small landscaping co while I go to school for Thai massage. Also work admin for the school.

THEN: lived on Chicago's north side
NOW: still lives on the N. side but after having moved to Portland and about 3 other areas in CHI

THEN: beer, bikes, whiskey, vegan
NOW: bikes, 2 years sober, occasional meat eater

SAMESIES: still love Jeff Buckley, still striving for community, still love CS, still very much gay

PHILOSOPHY

I wanna hear about the good cause there is so much good. It changes everything.
Synchronicity is real. I can tell you some amazing stories.

Quotes!:
I hate quotations, tell me what you know -Emerson

be faithful to that which exists nowhere but within yourself and thus make yourself indispensable. -D. Quinn

what you are doing now is paving the way for your future self -my acupuncturist

thats what i love about long distant riding...no matter how slow you go, you could be going 2 miles an hour, you are still getting somewhere. (okay i said this last one)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have slept on some couches and have provided one to sleep on. All experiences have been wonderful. Looking forward to hosting this summer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have so far met a handful of friends on through this site and have had the pleasure to host a few times already. Just emailed someone I met 4 years ago to have coffee and was amazed at how much she has accomplished since the last time we talked. Such a cool feeling!

兴趣

I am forever interested in learning about our respective perspectives. Currently very interested in studying western herbs, Thai massage, and learning more about myself. I have had a million jobs and feel like I have done a little bit of everything. Trying to build up the courage to speak at a story telling night.
I love my birthday
and I love tossing a frisbee in the park

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

How about 4?

Being at a bee sanctuary at the top of the blue ridge mountains in Virginia was absolutely stunning. I was amongst great company, great teachers and in such a tranquil landscape I just couldnt believe it.

I got to tell Lana Wachowski that I named my pet cat growing up, Trinity.

Rode around Portland velodrome on my 32nd Bday

I always wanted to coach girls basketball and I finally got a chance to last year!

教，学，和分享

I love to talk about spirituality and what it means to you. I can teach a thing or two about massage and how to really listen and take care of that amazing bod of yours.
Would love to be fluent in Spanish. And to learn more about Western herbs and tinctures.
I can share a killer meal, stories, and my vast knowledge of the city

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I can share my space with you and at least a meal at home. Would be up for showing you around if I have the time. Can also try and put you in touch with some solid people throughout your travels.
Sorry but I won't be joining you for deep dish pizza, a hot dog, or a round at a bar.
