CURRENT MISSION

To fully immerse myself in life

ABOUT ME

I can enjoy being active--biking, hiking, swimming, playing sports. I just want to be outside doing something competitive. But I am also down for relaxing, shooting the breeze and sharing stories.

PHILOSOPHY

If poets can say it better, why not:
"To be nobody-but-yourself — in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else — means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting."
e.e. cummings

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a couple of really, really cool people so far. We talked of travel, woman, and just about everything.

Interests

Books, fulfilled lives, laughing, music that makes me remember or forget. I enjoy writing novels that I never finish and impressionistic poems.

I can talk anything, but my main interest is probably the human condition.
