CURRENT MISSION

Keep doing what I'm doing

ABOUT ME

I'm 30, graduated from university 7 years ago and lived and worked in San Francisco for four years, but now I live in Rome. I was in Spain, Portugal and France for May, June and July 2006 and I LOVED it. I'm into being vegan/vegetarian, music, supporting human rights and innovation, not supporting corporate domination, working out, piercings, tattoos...blah blah blah you get the idea.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm okay with silence

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It's been a while since I've done much couchsurfing or hosting but maybe soon since I'll be traveling quite a bit in the next year

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in Paris, which was a wonderful experience. I've hosted a few couchsurfers, and they were all great.

Interests

I seem to be addicted to going to shows and listening to new music. I was a DJ at Mutiny Radio (formerly Pirate Cat) in San Francisco (fridays, 8-10pm, podcast here: http://podcasts.pcrcollective.org/Canary), but am now studying independent radio in Rome.
I really like to work out, running is my poison of choice. We all have our addictions.
Cooking would be another one. Right now I've been making delicious pizzas, so good you won't miss the cheese at all I promise. Oh and bread. Lots of bread making goin on.
I'm not a huge party monster, but I do like to kick it on occasion and music is my life so I am always going to fun shows.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't really know what constitutes amazing, but riding a horse at sunset in the mountains of Andalucia with a new friend is one that comes to mind. Maybe that's quotidian or cliche to some, but it's perfect in so many ways.
