ABOUT ME

I enjoy life. I have a strange sense of humor. I like adventures. I love traveling, music, dancing, games, parties, red wine, Thai food, chocolate. I like wandering in the mountains. I play the banjo. I'm hoping to write a book someday.

PHILOSOPHY

Keep on truckin!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Lots of it all over the place. I've had some excellent couchsurfing experiences from this website.

Interests

Traveling, music, singing, dance, graffiti & other kinds of art, hiking, card games, charades, puppet parties, meeting new people, hot springs in the wilderness, house parties, street parties, bike riding, wandering the streets of some strange city until dawn with a new friend, and having spontaneous adventures in places I never dreamed of.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I watched the sunrise from the top of a 10,000 foot mountain in Hawaii. Haleakala Volcano in Maui. It cast the shadow of the mountain onto the sky. I rode a bicycle all the way down the mountain to the beach from there. It was fun and scary and my ass hurt like hell the next day but it was worth it.

My favorite brownie recipe:

Regarding flour- I usually use rice flour because I'm allergic to wheat. Quinoa flour is nice too.

1 cup flour,

2 cups sugar,

7 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder,

4 eggs,

1/2 cup oil,

1/2 teaspoon salt,

1 tablespoon vanilla extract.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F or 175 degrees C. In a large bowl mix all the wet ingredients together until well blended. In a medium-sized bowl to the same with they dry ingredients. Then pour the dry ingr. into the wet and blend well. Pour into a greased 9"x13" or 9"x9" pan and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a knife stuck into the center comes out more or less clean (a little gooey is OK but not wet).

Let them cool a bit before you cut them so they don't dry out. They're gooooood.
