About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Push limits as a Woman Under the Influence.

ABOUT ME

I would like the word "should" to be erased from all vocabularies.

PHILOSOPHY

I often wonder what it would mean to be human if I had male genitalia--does that count?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

After surfing a couple of times for slightly extended periods, I hosted a couple of people while I was living in Berlin. Now, come surf here with me!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Thermal baths on a bus in Italy, rescued by an angel in Berlin, friends with a contemporary rolling stone, making homes in people, not places. To stray from the sentimental, it's difficult to be afraid.

Interests

the invention, dissemination and transliteration of the contemporary love story, writing, reading, lounging, alcohols, tobaccos, coffee and big talk, and singing.
I am interested in the methods of understanding urban spaces, alternative food production, co-incidence, people: who they are, how they think

You know that really irritating contemporary adage postulating that people look and act like the dogs they own?
The same can be said for cities and their pigeons.
