Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Actualize, etherize, individualize, laugh and disappear...
ABOUT ME
I like to spend a good amount of time alone, but have an extrovert's urge to socialize, so it's a constant science of environment... I spin yarn, knit and felt hats, read tarot around Vermont, substitute teach, perform on the street and occassionally throw a bizarre puppet show... My moods can be saintly or impetuous, my decree structured or otherworldly... I live a Libran's destiny of joyful oscillation and peace-seeking beauty...
PHILOSOPHY
As above, so below...
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have hosted and been hosted, and have had nothing but positive experiences... A safe and honest glimpse into someone's life can be a great tool for reflection.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
People enter my home, share and reflect my surroundings... hopefully, i do the same.
Interests
I'm interested in allowing myself to be more of myself, so I follow spontaneous blisses and mental curiosities. I love to be blessed with the company of my dear friends. I love rivers and dancing in the sunshine. I love people being happy and seeing artistic fulfillment. Im generally just happy to be moving along...
