Hi! My name is Brigid and I live in Portland, OR.
I am living my life's dream, working as a preschool teacher. However, I'm probably one of the most radical preschool teachers you will ever meet. I work in a home-based Waldorf/Montessori school.

In my spare time I read a lot about ancient history / ancient mystery and psychology. I'd say I'm 50% introvert, 50% extrovert, and I like it that way. I'm also very interested in Gnosis, mythology, history, occult sciences, symbolism, and paradox. I consider myself a good communicator and can share lots of tidbits of information with you (whether or not they are useful or useless is for you to decide- ha!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
