CURRENT MISSION

Love life and everything life throws at me...

ABOUT ME

I'm spontaneous. At times, unpredictable, but usually pretty reliable. I love to love. Traveling and meeting new people gives my life meaning. I dance with a wide, huge grin on my face. I have a tendency to "cackle" when I start laughing.

PHILOSOPHY

If you ever start to take life too seriously, roll over and do the reverse turtle.

"It could be worse..."

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After graduating Uni, I spent five fabulous weeks traveling around Europe with my best friend. During this time, we stayed entirely with couchsurfing hosts. This changed my traveling experience and my life completely. Traveling is an enlightening, wonderful experience in itself. To be in a new place and to be able to meet someone new who you can count on to be friendly, welcoming, and helpful is encouraging, exciting, and contagious.
I can't find the appropriate words to express what I continue to discover about life, human kind, nature, myself, etc. through experiences like CouchSurfing.

音乐、电影和书籍

I love Harry Potter, Life of Pi, novels by John Robbins, The Art of War, Catfish and Mandala, Where the Wild Things Are, The God of Small Things, The Dao of Pooh, The Biography of Eleanor Roosevelt

I generally like all types of music, although I'm not too big on country western. Right now my favorites are: !!!, Amy Winehouse, Gnarles Barkley, Suba, Cornershop, Prince, Tosca, Wang Feng, and CoCo Zhang.

I adore the saxaphone and can play the flute a little bit. I'm a monster on the tamborine.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

When a door-to-door booksales job went sour, I teamed up with a traveling lemonade stand, thus getting an excellent view of the mid-west.
