CURRENT MISSION to find other artists & figure out chicago ABOUT ME I walk in the middle of sidewalks and streets I dance without any music or beat I make art, too: www.carolynrumancik.com PHILOSOPHY I am curious and I like to investigate. I love the interesting tension between content and surface. I think open communication is key to having fulfilling relationships and interactions, but in the mean time amuse myself by examining the little shields that we sometimes use instead. I think it is important to respect and experience sadness in order to move past it. I feel that sometimes over-optimism leads to repression, and then a later and greater crash. Yet I am by no means a negative Nancy. I value intuition. I feel much, and learn from it, and try to share my experiences with others...and they do the same for me. investigate, feel, share, receive, love.

Warum ich auf Couchsurfing bin
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I had wonderful couch surfing experiences in France. Now that I am back in America I want to extend a positive and welcoming feeling for new visitors. I wish I could offer my couch to travelers but I'm transitioning and don't have a couch to call my own quite yet. When I have a new place I hope to be a good couch host. I'm still adjusting to Chicago now, but if you are traveling through and want to meet a friendly person just let me know! COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I stayed with two different hosts in Southern France and both experiences were amazing. Though it isn't technically couch surfing, I also wwoofed at a farm near Limoux in France. *update - I surfed on Mukund's couch in Urbana, IL when traveling to sell merchandize for John Vanderslice's show. He was a great host!
Musik, Filme und Bücher
i want to list many more things but i will limit myself per category: kurt vonnegut, theo ellsworth, toni morrison, j.d. salinger, simone de beauvoir, antoine de saint-exupéry... don bluth films from childhood (i.e. an american tale, all dogs go to heaven, land before time...etc), i <3 huckabees, wes anderson films, science of sleep... john vanderslice, deathcab, pedro the lion, joanna newsom, the mountain goats, okkervil river, radiohead, kanye west...etc
Eine tolle Sache, die ich getan habe

Lehren, Lernen, Teilen
Well, I am an artist and have many different creative skills that could be useful. I would love to have discussions about art and life, both teaching and learning. I could offer aesthetic opinions, or even help make something. I could make drawings of my hosts, or of something they would like in exchange for a wonderful stay :). I also studied in women and gender studies if anyone would like to engage in interesting gender-related discussions. I have many interests and am excited to learn anything new.
