About Me

CURRENT MISSION

LEARN as MUCH as POSSIBLE

ABOUT ME

"...in recent weeks (she'd) had the feeling (she) could not wait much longer, because (her) destiny was rapidly coming to its end and (she) must do everything to make it perfect and beautiful." - Milan Kundera, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting

i'm a life-clinic/ soul rehabilitation advocate. art is the cure.
art is mobilizing the gray matter. i want to mobilize, be mobilized, be affected - GOD! do i want to be affected by people, by art, by love, by the goodness that is inherent within us - the brilliance that surpasses the effability of words. people are good. and i want to spread the gospel of it.

PHILOSOPHY

people need people. it's the zenith of life to love, be loved, and to feel in full the world that's constantly moving.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i engage as honestly as possible with the people who are so kind to host me. meetings. smiles. invitations. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Phenomenal. I can't begin to explain...

Interests

the backsides of monuments and buildings,
stopped clocks, haggard things,
southern hospitality, universal kindness of the utopian sort, music music music - balkan brass currently, live shows are the best, book lending, dry champagne, traveling more often than i can afford, sausage, coffee, writing, transcending, walking places instead of driving, home cooking, love, and the ability to go beyond yourself to enjoy the world outside your head.

in short: music and movies and books and engaging with others around me.
