I love writing & living intentionally. I am currently traveling for a few months, working on a poetry book & meeting new people. I really appreciate anything I can learn about any other culture (& especially food!) & anything that helps me see the world in a new way. I adore dogs & cats & all kinds of pets, as well as art, music, & the great outdoors.
Interested in Adventure Sports
Interested in Animals
Fluent in English
Learning Arabic (Morocco)
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I'm on Couchsuring to experience places rather than just passing through & getting in the sights. I love meeting new people & learning new ways of life.
Music, Movies, and Books
I love art in all forms, especially the weird stuff that is just beautiful or doing something new (or makes me see things anew). For music: experimental & new classical music, world, beautiful instrumentals & singing (James Blackshaw, Alison Krauss, Ladysmith Black Mambazo,Roomful of Teeth, etc) Books: Zong! by NourBeSe Philip (postmodern epic poem about a slave ship - & language itself); The Book Thief by Markus Zusak; The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran Movies: The Fall by Tarsem Singh, Baraka & Samsara, Song of the Sea, Pleasantville
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Woke up this morning :)
Teach, Learn, Share
Food (cooking, eating, learning, sharing, all of the above)! Also, I love reciting poetry & enjoy making art (singing, drawing, writing etc) together. Although I cannot teach in full, I am also happy to share meditation & yoga with anyone who will try.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Experiences, ideas, & conversations about the world, life etc and I can help you with your English :)
My Interests
Writing, reading, the great outdoors, cooking, art & meditation
