I am a genuinely curious human being who enjoys navigating reality at the rate of awe and enthusiasm, gratitude and absorption, and momentum and flexibility toward being absolutely present to the wonder and mystery of the world.
All the aforementioned proclivities I bare as essential tools and gifts to share with the couchsurfing community; those are foundational. I am also an ebullient conversationist and love to exchange ideas across the lovely variegated spectrum that we call our rich human experience. Above, before, and after all, I am a lover of life--to share the gems that I have garnered thus far in my thirty something years is always a gift of grace beyond measure. I just love being here with others who share a similar sense of gratefulness and wonder at the whimsical predicament that we find ourselves in as human beings.
Some of the more easily articulated interests that I have are in the realms of books: I love to read with unremitting and edacious passion; if you couldn't tell already from some of the strange words I may have used to write this description. I, reciprocally, love to write words with as much enjoyment as I love reading them. Talking about reading and writing is a concomitant by product of my love for these practices. I also love yoga, spiritual inquiry, coffee, dancing, music, being in nature, as much as I have a genuine and thoroughgoing interest in physics, philosophy, and psychology. I'm an Ameteur polyglot as well, so feel free to teach me as much of your native tongue as you wish. I'd love to board with you for as long as you would be delighted to do so. Blessings.

Teach, Learn, Share
