I'm an explorer of the world, and I bring good vibes! I'm extremely open minded and look forward to crossing paths with people that I'm meant to! I love to talk about the Universe and theorize and formulate more concrete ideas about the abstractness of existence. I am entirely accepting of other people's individual qualities but make personal decisions by survival instincts. For example I am vegan because what you put in your body combines with your body and then comes out of your body, and eating fruits and vegetables grown in the sun gives you solar power from the inside, which is as important was experiencing the sun on the outside.

disclaimer: I'm more awkward than I remember sometimes. People say I'm crazy but in a good way and I used to hate it until I realized they said that about many historical geniuses.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

To make friends! One day I look forward to being a solid host, but I don’t have space for now /:
Hostels can be overwhelming because I don't party very well.

Музыка, кино и книги

Music: Fleet Foxes, Gorillaz, Odesza, Pixies, Chance the Rapper, Cage the Elephant, Alabama Shakes and everything in between
(If you like Tame Impala you (generally) automatically have good taste in music)

Never been a huge movie person but I prefer older movies, and I don't like stupid movies or scary movies. I like smart movies like 12 Angry Men which I watched recently.
my goal is to be more like Rick Sanchez

Haven't read enough books to have an opinion. I've been really into philosophy books while traveling. but let me know if you've read On the Road by Jack Kerouac

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Bought a one way ticket to Victoria, BC Canada when I was 19, took a train across Canada back home 3 months later.
Drove from Lowell, MA to Montreal to an awesome poutine restaurant I've been to before, all without a GPS.
Put 9,000 miles (14,000 km) on a car in less than 4 months in 2016, didn't change the oil, and let it die.
Visited 12 countries in 3 months in Europe.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

please excuse the monologue

We are on a life mission, figuring out how we can help the world be a better place; we are trying to inspire people through conversations, art, energy manipulation, setting an example, and other ways we are figuring out. With the power of acceptance and understanding everyone, we hope to help people understand that there is no point in categorizing everyone with labels, but we are all humans on this lively planet in this Universe, all gifted with the ability to make decisions based on conscious judgement. And the Universe is just a synonym for God or Allah and it is also made up of multiple Gods, all just different language interpretations of the same harmonic message. I am not religious, I believe organized religion is the opposite point that these historical figures wanted to produce out of their beliefs, but I believe in Jesus and Moses and Buddha and Muhammad and energy and the power of the planets, etc. as much as I believe in Socrates and Nelson Mandela and science and evolution and all the other people who were killed or tortured for questioning the inexplicit faiths of their eras, and I believe the Bible and the Quran share the same message but have been heavily misinterpreted and corrupted by people in history and present day who are motivated by any of the 7 deadly sins, which it seems that many humans have forgotten what makes them deadly. I mean for example, Jesus and Buddha didn't walk around telling people to worship them, they also didn't have social media or airplanes, so they did the best they could to widespread a message. They did not create Christianity or Buddhism, they were trying to set an example and once the power of the Universe was realized, the government later took control of their names "in the name of God blah blah etc." with all of their greed.
All of this is extremely hard to talk about because everyone already has their opinions, and most people don't like to talk about it or change their minds, but I used to have my opinion which was "I don't believe in any of it specifically but I accept that others have their beliefs," but recently I realized that it was all the same and all the original messages were meant to better the world, not divide it, but I also don't want people to think I'm a specific way because of my beliefs, because I'm just trying to prove that EVERYONE is right (to an extent). Another thing is that once I discovered the Universe (God or whatever you call it) I found (was granted) motivation to accomplish everything I've ever wanted (which was traveling, learning everything, and being a superhero), and even found a purpose in life, and also have had many "miraculous" experiences manifest as a result of my faith in the Universe. By having faith, the energy of that faith in magic radiates out and bounces around everything and comes back in many beautiful ways. We believe that what you put in your body has a lot to do with it too because the Universe is not just one thing, it's all the things. But eating factory chickens and eggs and beef etc. causes intense energy blockages (and physical blockages) so many many many people are unable to receive this message. (Not saying that being vegan makes you a better person, but eating mostly fruits and vegetables literally connects you to the Earth and Sun and Universe more.) We know that this "message" will be received in very many different ways, but we are not looking for acceptance, we are just trying to spread good vibes and learn more about what is possible and enjoy what we do. Luckily, if we are careful, as in depending on where we go, we won't be hung on a cross for having different beliefs, but people have been talking about this idea for thousands of years.........

The only reason I am putting all of this in my profile is because I have such a hard time talking openly about it, but it's what goes on in my brain. So this is an easy way to address it automatically. Still trying to figure out how to communicate it better....
So please, teach me anything you know about science or math or history or language or art or people or anything! Because those are all puzzle pieces and the picture created is the gift of consciousness on this planet which allows life!

Чем я могу поделиться с хостами

so many great conversations to be had, we like talking about everythaaang!
also we love cooking vegan food and would love to share with hosts! we've worked at restaurants since we were teenagers so we both get this weird pleasure out of cleaning kitchens so don't worry if your kitchen is dirty, if we're cooking, it'll be cleaned (: cooking in new kitchens is also a weird pleasure i've discovered since visiting Europe...
