CURRENT MISSION

Seeking out and seeing beauty in people and places; breathing in nature; delighting in the absurd.

ABOUT ME

Things that make me supremely happy: bicycling with new friends in a new city; dancing; searching out weird adventures; laughing til my stomach hurts; giving and receiving quality hugs.

PHILOSOPHY

I keep trying to grow. It's hard, but it's better than shrinking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Not so much hosting lately, and am just taking up international travel after a long hiatus; always bringing my full self to each encounter, CLEANING, and making foodstuffs if hosts will let me. :)

Interests

Mountains and valleys; stealing non-art art; picking fruit by the roadside; puns; serenading people with situationally-inappropriate songs; yelling back at catcallers.
