Perpetually curious, occasionally confused, and (at least) mildly entertaining with aspirations to become a genuine, learned and skilled Mercedes-Benz mechanic. As an effort to support myself independently, I work at a local Boys & Girls Club and a bizarrely uninteresting photo company. Variety and consistency are enjoyed simultaneously. Often drawn toward food and animals and dimly lit smoky bars and hot-button conversations with acerbic and irreverent people and trees with water nearby and old things. Sometimes reading and writing can be charming. Awkwardness can be fun if you try hard enough.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To see new places and meet people of all sorts- preferably the mostly-good, responsibly-wild, and sarcastically-witty sorts. As a freelance nanny, I have the time.

兴趣

Not picky that often- eating tasty things and drinking cheap libations, existentialism, painting from a distance, steak flavored cereal, hanging out with animals, free samples/parking, mild hiking, inhibited PDA, exploring waterways, roadtrips, not-forever sleeping, block parties, bar hopping, couples who argue in public, human redemption, board games, proper digestion, student loan forgiveness, Words with Friends, spending time with non-imaginary friends. Simple stuff. Proud supporter of progressive causes, an amateur Mercedes-Benz enthusiast, and habitual volunteer for organizations like AID Atlanta, Georgia Equality, Habitat for Humanity. I like to have fun, I like to do things that cause that.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Drove to Maine with very little money and a very old car, with no job and no place to live, with no family or friends in search of something different. In search of something grand. In search of fresh lobster and unforeseen adventure. It.Was.Amazing.

教，学，和分享

We're human, shared experiences are pretty great. Would like to learn a language, preferably Spanish or French. Can teach you pig Latin, and a phrase in Hebrew that'll receive mixed responses. The banjo is annoyingly cool, a musical wonderpiece. Want to play it, but I need to learn first. A casual member of an existentialist congregation and an amateur ukulele circle known locally within our group as The One Dots. Would like to learn more about my space in the world by mutually sharing with others about theirs. I like doing that, it feels good.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

At minimum, an honest conversation and a bit of responsible absurdity. Like to make people feel happy, preferably through laughter- I hope, at least. Customarily will have a libation backup plan in case my attempts at humor and storytelling fail me. I'm easygoing and I like to go with the flow. Usually very interested in shared dialogue, meeting other new folks who may or may not be your friends, and interacting with your local, preferably free/strange/and-or haunted attractions. Also fairly independent and able to navigate new and unfamiliar terrain solo. Though I'm quite hairy, I'm also clean and respectful and I believe WHOLEHEARTEDLY in reciprocity. It's good stuff. My parents raised a good egg.
