CURRENT MISSION

"don't bend. don't water it down. don't try to make it logical. don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly."

ABOUT ME

I am a rambunctious and friendly homebody, full of spontaneity and creativity. I love nature, music, books, talking to strangers, painting, and gardening!
My man and I are presently traveling around the European continent to share our music with the world! We'll begin in Iceland, and then go on from there.

PHILOSOPHY

Never pay for a haircut. It's more fun to do it yourself. Or let your boyfriend do it! Or a stranger at a bar! (true story.)

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I spent the summer in Bellingham hosting awesome people from all over the world! Now it is time to ask the people all over the world to host me :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Done lots of hosting this summer, via this site and otherwise. Love it a lot!

Interessen

Sleeping outside, cooking good food, swimming in lakes...Running around on the many lovely trails nearby...Tree-climbing, and wild-harvesting sure make me happy, too.

Music is one of the most important things! I play saxophone and whatnot. I crave collaboration, and have found that music is one of the most beautiful ways to connect with other humans.
I'm perfectly content to spend day after day on my porch in the sun, playing guitar, reading, painting, thinking, hanging out.

Oh i am also interested in film photography! I mainly shoot 35mm with my Pentax and Contax.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Hey, I make music! Here's a link to my band: thelivingarrows.com

Lately.... Leonard Cohen, Bon Iver, Asgeir, Little Dragon, Fleet Foxes, Atmosphere, Joanna Newsom, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin...

I like to read things written by these sorts of folks: Milan Kundera, Vladimir Nabokov, John Steinbeck, Mark Twain, Edward Abbey, Herman Hesse, Paul Auster...
Mary Oliver, e.e. Cummings, Theodore Roethke, Charles Baudelaire, Sylvia Plath, Rumi, Pablo Neruda..yeah! Poetry, whaaat!

I don't watch many movies, but when I do, they are usually Wes Anderson movies.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

When I was in high school, I had an opportunity to perform in Carnegie Hall. It was amazing. I cried.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

Let me teach you the ukulele! Or how to knit! Or how that really cool honeycomb weathering pattern happens on coastlines! Or what birds live in the area! These are things that I like.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I would love to cook for you, help around the house, collaborate on any creative projects... :)

Länder, die ich besucht habe
