CURRENT MISSION

Being the change I wish to see in the world.

ABOUT ME

I am a lover of knowledge-Philo (love of) Sophia (Wisdom)!!! Whatever happened to knowledge for knowledge's sake? The way I see it-If I can drink a cup of new ideas/concepts/notions every day, I will never go thirsty. I know that ultimately I truly know nothing and yet somehow the pursuit of this unattainable 'Knowledge' is the ontological necessary of my Being (in spite of my being).

If you need a more concrete idea of who I am- I would love to meet you!
In a few words I am a: tempestuous, nail-biting extrovert polyglot; with a knack for cooking, creating, contriving, overcoming and integrating: lives, words, thoughts and dreams; and an erroneous habit of descending into a false sense of hubristic narcissism.

Yearning for MORE I seek a purpose-driven life...what that purpose is, continuously changes and I am not sure if I will ever fully understand what my purpose is-
Thus I full-fill my life by working-in, visiting and studying other lands, cultures, customs and languages.
I allow life to take me where it will and try my hardest to be wholly present, at all times.
This may mean that something goes undone or said- but whatever will be, will be.

Basically, I am a decent person who believes in the decency of others.

PHILOSOPHY

Sapere aude! (Kant's Dare to know!)
-"The limits of my language mean the limits of my world"- Wittgenstein.
-"whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent"- Ibid.
-Live each moment as if it were your last.
-A life lived in fear is a life half-lived...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I have a couch, anyone is welcome to it for as long as they need...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed All Over the World-Hosted in the U.S. of A., OZ, France and Czech Republic...

Interests

Thinking outside the box; thinking inside the box; on top of the box; in-lieu of the box; in the veritable vicinity of the box; imagining a box that may or may not exist; long walks on the beach at sunset with the box; radical boxing feminist boxes; wearing the box as a hat; manifesting boxes for others; contemplating the existential dilemma of the modern box; deducing the ontological necessity of the concept box; debate with ornery/angsty boxes; discovering the essence of box; suggesting what the box's favorite color might be; eating on the box, fucking the box; painting the box; putting flowers in the box; having discourse with the proverbial box...and so on, and so forth...with the so-called box!

Oh, I also like painting, dancing, singing, film-making, sculpture, anything in 'the nature' coffee, ice cream, reading, writing, walking, converting oxygen into CO2 etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like literature (not to be confused with popular fiction- eh hem...Twilight)! Anything that reminds me of an experience, a thought, or an emotion (good or bad)- is what interests me.
The same for film; (cinema that is, I definitely proscribe and prescribe to the "kill your TV" worldview) but I am guilty of streaming the odd show or two on my laptop.
Music/or any art form- if I can have some kind of visceral or intense reaction to it, than the art has served a purpose in my life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Where do I start? I have had a long, young life thus far and it just keeps getting longer...

Teach, Learn, Share

Is it sharing time? I was never good at that...teach? But I'm still learning?
-What I can offer is a little nugget of some digestible notion you can regurgitate later in better company .
-"The best teacher is experience and not through someone's distorted point of view" - JK
-Yet Ultimately, "I [have] nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion" -JK
Better to address this in-person...just ask, or teach, or share, or whatever...I am open to just about anything!
