About Me

CURRENT MISSION

i am currently learning to let go and not push the river

ABOUT ME

i must be honest. i hate this profiling crap. i mean, how can i type into a computer the kind of person i am and am capable of being. i guess i am just to much of a romantic for this type of explanation.

PHILOSOPHY

blahblahblah.....this is information to share with someone over some coffee or hash. haha! sorry to be difficult, but i want something to discuss in a personal meeting.
i can say this, my feelings and thoughts are forever changing. everything evolves,,from bacteria to sexuality to our thoughts and ideas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i have crashed at houses in athens, greece and tarsus, turkey. it is great to be able to stay with locals, break bread with them. i also find it enjoyable hosting others. i love to cook for people and teach them how wonderful oakland is,,even though it is the 3rd most dangerous city in the states.

Interests

as a student, my interests are constantly developing and recreating themselves. i have always been interested in culture and music. now i am combining the two as an anthropology major. i used to play guitar and learned a bit of the trumpet, but now i like to be the dancer for the musician. i love african dance, particularly from the west side--also haitian, turkish. besides world music and dance, i have been trying out ballet and hip-hop.
