CURRENT MISSION

Looking to explore, meet new people, and expand my mind as I make a return trip to South America.

ABOUT ME

Things I'd rather not live without: dark chocolate, black tea, running shoes, dogs, beer and wine, and friends to laugh with.

PHILOSOPHY

So I've been reading this book, and I'm going to take a passage right from it. It's from the Henry James novel, The Ambassadors. It's a bit long, but bear with me if you can.

"Live all you can; it's a mistake not to. It doesn't so much matter what you do in particular so long as you have your life. If you haven't had that what have you had? i'm too old-too old at any rate for what I see. What one loses one loses; make no mistake about that. Still, we have the illusion of freedom; therefore don't like me to-day, be without the memory of that illusion. I was either, at the right time, too stupid or too intelligent to have it, and now I'm a case of reaction against the mistake. For it was a mistake. Live! Live!"

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a bit new to this, but thought it would be a great way to meet people as I start out on this adventure of mine in South America.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I'm a marathoner, which was amazing yet entirely painful (never has it been so difficult to walk down stairs!) Not sure I'll be repeating anytime soon, but worth it for the experience.
