It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have surfed once (as of 7/9/11) and it was excellent. I had fun and got great advice. Oh yeah, I also had a safe and comfortable place to sleep in the San Juan Mountains. 'nough said.

Interests

Music, distance running, hiking, aerial dance, flying trapeze, landscapes (favoring the West currently), animals (primates in particular), writing, reading, stimulating conversations, journalism (NPR especially), history, feminism, nutrition, learning and laughing. Pioneers of all sorts (and therefore I am fascinated by extreme adventurists).
