CURRENT MISSION

Continue to pursue my education (masters degree) and pursue my desire to travel.

ABOUT ME

I am a very appreciative person. Life is short, and I want to embrace and experience all it has to offer.

Interests: Can't get enough of the arts! I love music, singing, dancing, eating, drinking, laughing and thinking. Sharing stories, creating new memories, working through language barriers. Discovering hidden places and returning to familiar ones.

Also, I love buildings and streets and all other manifestations of architecture.

If that's not enough, I love nature - mountains, trees, rivers rocks, and animals. Backpacking, camping, swimming, I'm there.

Cultural immersion is the name of the game, especially when it comes to travel. I'm not as much into the "tourist checklist" that travel can become. I try to avoid commercially-guided tours. Unexpected adventures are the best.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short, go out and live it!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Only a surfer for the time being, no couch available yet. Just discovered the 'Events' category of Couchsurfing, hope to take advantage of that.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Totally unexperienced! I still need to dive head first into the couchsurfing community.

兴趣

Interests are always expanding! Anything that manifests human culture and life on earth - music, food, architecture, history, political structures, infrastructure, space exploration, you name it.

音乐、电影和书籍

Motown, Jazz, dixieland, hip hop, blues, rock 'n roll, psychedelic, folk, reggae, ska, most anything and everything. Lots of movies and books, my favorite is In Bruges. Listening to, and playing music is by far my favorite. I mostly play trumpet and guitar though put me behind a bongo and we're good. Can't get enough!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Did a solo backpacking trip around Mt Rainier in Washington, USA this summer. Ended up being 100+ miles.

教，学，和分享

I want to learn languages other than English, through exposure to different cultures. Want to hear and tell stories of past adventures, and share hopes for the future. Also I'd love to teach anyone to play music.
