CURRENT MISSION

loosen the ties what bind me, live so that i can find me

ABOUT ME

Highly self-accountable. I like to know I can rely on me. I will ask you a thousand questions. Having no office is an important way to be; dancing is a deeply important thing to do. I enjoy foreign languages. I get disgruntled if I can't make you laugh.

PHILOSOPHY

May i borrow from bjork....it's not meant to be a struggle uphill.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I join local Twin Cities get togethers. I broke a rib for the cause, sledding down a hill on a couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

New York City, lots of couchsurfing. Also in Italy and Russia. I am a believer in asking the universe for help, but I know I need to be wise and generous too.

Interests

My first love, imprinted on me hard, is painting. Then comes running and reading and buddhism. What has me totally bought and sold right now, though, is activism.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's hard to think of my life in terms of amazing. It's personal and intimate and frought with its own foibles. Amazing is for the movies.

Teach, Learn, Share

Bring something wanted into the home, besides yourself. Does not have to be an object. A small generosity leaves a lasting impression.
