CURRENT MISSION

To do what I love.

ABOUT ME

I like listening to other people's stories.

PHILOSOPHY

"In a light that is fierce and strong one can see the world disolve." -Kafka.
"
If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can warm me, I know that is poetry. If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry." - Emily Dickinson

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am brand new to the CS community but am looking forward to changing that soon!

Interests

There is a lot that I love. An ideal day is one spent reading and writing followed by a few drinks and/or Mexican food with my friends. An ideal travel experience is one with zero expectations and countless new impressions.

Music, Movies, and Books

Top 3 Writers: Thoman Mann, Don DeLillo, Vladimir Nabokov

I used to be pretty obsessed with Queens of the Stone Age/Desert Sessions. Lately I've been listening to Santigold. I like recommendations from people I meet and Youtube.
