CURRENT MISSION

challenging definitions of sin!

ABOUT ME

I bounce between being all too introspective and being all too unserious; I'm currently trying to find a happy balance between the two, although I'm not too certain about how that's panning out. I think that I think too much, although I'm certainly enjoying where it's leading me.

That aside, I have a serious sweet tooth and a penchant for gypsy punk, as well as a current craving for some good ol' George Orwell. I'm currently taking another year off, this one while I'm enrolled at Reed, so here's to the wandering life :].

PHILOSOPHY

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm quite the budding couchsurfer - I have a lot to learn, especially about cooking, haha. I still haven't gotten used to the feel of it, but it's a very interesting way to travel. If I hadn't found couchsurfing, things would be a lot lonelier right now.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

WONDERFUL. My first host was amazingly sweet, and the people I have met thus far are extremely accomodating. I've met some amazing people via couchsurfing.

Intereses

SKYRIM. Physics (mechanics), Ukraine, cats, lion hats, languages.

i love the sounds of accordions, and, ONE DAY, I will learn to play one myself.

i also like climbing mountains that are too difficult for me to climb. but hey, that just makes it all the more rewarding. that being said, i want to learn how to climb rocks!

Algo increíble que he hecho

The most amazing night I've spent thus far was out on the rim of Mount Ngauruhoe; I camped facing the sunrise and oh my goodness the visibility was infinite.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Haha, I need to learn how to cook, that's for sure. I adore physics and calculus, but I need a refresher in those fields (heading to university next year for just that). I am also an expert rock band drummer and halo-player :D.
