CURRENT MISSION

Observe life and learn how to live it.

ABOUT ME

I'm an American abroad, although hardly ever recognized as such. I'm very much a Virgo. I have a particular fondness for rabbits and bats. I'm very good at entertaining myself and am pretty much never bored. I'm not naturally a very social person, but that doesn't stop me from trying. I strive to live outside my comfort zone.

PHILOSOPHY

Strange, how clouds that look like mountains in the sky, are next to mountains anyway...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Still learning the ropes :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to all this-- was introduced to the site by some fellow travelers in Sri Lanka in May 2011. Subsequently had some fortuitous CouchSurfing encounters, and now I'm sold!

Interests

Lots of little things; 1 or 2 big ones.

• rabbits
• design
• yoga
• meditation
• movies
• mountains

Music, Movies, and Books

Instead of a long list of everything that comes to mind, here's the 3 that I could (and have) listened to / read / watched over and over again for years:

Music: Incubus
Book: The Moral Animal by Robert Wright
Movie: I Heart Huckabees

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I circumnavigated the globe on a floating university.

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to design, develop and maintain websites for a living (and I'm a pretty big computer geek in general), so that's one skill set I can bring to the table. However, I should note that I'm self-taught, so some of my methods may be a bit unorthodox.

I've also got a sweet collection of MP3s (a few dozen movies and audiobooks too) that I'm happy to share. :-)

As for "Learn," I'm currently really interested in yoga and meditation. I'd love to meet more people who practice or are knowledgeable on these subjects.
