CURRENT MISSION

To create art and community. To spend my life using art to explore what it is like to walk a mile in another's shoes.

ABOUT ME

I am a gypsy, a nomad of sorts. I love meeting new people and exploring/discovering new places. I love to experience, inspire, and be inspired. I love acting! I love the opportunity it gives me to explore personalities and situations that I would never get to if I wasn't getting outside of myself in such a way. I believe that I'm here on earth to not just bide my time but to effect change in every way possible. I'm passionate, congruent, stubborn as a mule, curious as a cat, often silly, and excited about living this life.

PHILOSOPHY

I like to think that if every human being would take a moment to do a character study on their "enemy" then most likely we would all find that we have no enemies at all. The key to peace in this life is actively working to understand and appreciate one another.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently I can only hang out because I don't have a couch to offer. However, I am great at showing people around and having adventures with new friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couched surfed in Atlanta, Georgia, and it was the best. The couple that I stayed with were so cool and we still keep in touch via FB.

Interests

Theatre and other performing arts. Visual arts, writing, The Beat nick generation and "outsider" history in general. My newest love is climbing. I climb once to twice a week and have recently started climbing outdoors. I am also a big fan of running.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love encouraging people to go after what fulfills them.

There are so many things I'd love to learn, but a different language is towards to top of that list.

I love shared experiences. I love stories that people have. I love sharing music and inspirations.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I usually can tell a good yarn.
