About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to try everything and not regret anything..

ABOUT ME

I'm often scatterbrained, generally loud, constantly laughing, and never taking much seriously - especially not myself.. i always want to do absolutely everything, and love it all..

PHILOSOPHY

"Miracles happen when you act on your dreams."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I finally got around to watching The King's Speech and it increased my love for Geoffrey Rush to even greater heights.. the man's a genius!

I read obsessively and constantly.. much to the annoyance of anyone who is with me and not in a "reading mood".. it's borderline problematic..
I've just started The Last Lecture, and it seems to be very, very, very good!

Muzak.. aaaah muzak.. i love anything that makes me sing, dance, bop, think, or shed a tear..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing a Sahara desert nomad child's face light up at the sight of the very first image he ever saw of himself - a tracing of his face on a magnadoodle board that my friends and i had just given him.. absolutely phenomenal experience.. something out of a fantasy book..
