Обо мне

CURRENT MISSION

Living a life of service and meaning

ABOUT ME

The basics: big heart, weird sense of humor, penchant (dare I say obsession?) for/with adventure. I am very interested in meeting people who push their boundaries and who are involved in their surroundings: those who are conscientious, free-thinkers (and yes, that means whether we agree with each other or not) and kind. I believe wonderful people come in all shapes, forms, and from varying viewpoints. I enjoy anyone and everyone who isn't an a*hole and/or complacent about life.

I'm pretty flexible--take me to a 5-star restaurant in Paris or a gay bar in San Francisco or a hotdog stand in Mexico City or a hut in the Amazon and I'll have a good time--as long as I'm surrounded by good people (and preferably, good beer).

I love hosting but am unable to at the moment... :( And as far as my houseguest worthiness, I'll leave your place cleaner than I found it and repay your kindness by being helpful, cheerful and a dedicated dishwasher. I also love to cook and would love to treat you!!

PHILOSOPHY

Hmm... various... but somethin' like this: that we all should live life to its fullest, pursue what makes us happy, ignore our well-meaning parents, and live like today is our final day. Trying to make life better for others along the way is important too. I'll tell you the rest over a beer or three.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I spread the CS gospel to whomever I deem worthy, and I donate a few bucks here and there. When I get out of school, I'd like to participate even more.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've traveled throughout South America for 8 months, both crashing couches and hostaling (alas, I did not know about this site at the time). Later spent 4 months in Europe, CS-ing with vengeance. Saving money is great, but my favorite thing about staying with natives is to taste a bit of the culture, history and way of life, and to foster an open cultural exchange.

Интересы

music, anything sensory oriented, thinking outside the box and then smashing it to bits, art, writing, revolutionaries, being a good human, meeting other good humans, creating community, making work meaningful, words, metaphors, politics, anthropology, feminism, justice, human rights, architecture, nature, cocktails, burritos, beer, jungles, mangoes, chocolate, my friends&family, the state of this gorgeous, twisted world, the fantastic adventure of human bein', and needless to say, travel... to name a few

Музыка, кино и книги

jazz (REAL jazz, not that "smooth" garbage), electronica, rock, classic rock, hip-hop, bluegrass, alt country, spanish pop, flamenco, blues, ambient, most anything by Radiohead, Groove Armada or Bonnie Raitt, especially 60s-70s; the Motorcycle Diaries & Last Temptation of Christ soundtracks, which I play religiously; any track with a mariachi guitar or 5... most intelligent, challenging music and some really cheesey low-brow stuff as well. Books: I am usually reading (and rarely finishing) several at a time, usually non-fiction, preferably subversive. Movies: yes please, especially classic horror/psycho-thrillers, really gritty dramas, or anything with Marlon Brando, Charlotte Rampling or Phillip Seymore Hoffman.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

I once ate alligator, climbed the Inca trail and jumped out of an airplane (not in the same day). I am on a lifelong quest to avoid the ordinary existence - whether or not our heroine succeeds is yet to be seen.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I'm a relatively good cook and am happy to share some tricks of the trade. I can curse and say "cheers" in multiple languages. I'm a pretty decent writer and can do your term paper for you for a small fee or perhaps a nice meal :)

Где я побывал(-а)

Argentina, Austria, Bahamas, Belgium, Belize, Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Ethiopia, France, Germany, Haiti, Ireland, Italy, Jamaica, Netherlands, Peru, Portugal, Russian Federation, Spain, Turkey, Uganda, United Kingdom

Где я жил(-а)

Ecuador, Mexico, United States
