I love life.

I'll try just about anything. Oh, and I hate small talk - let's skip to the interesting stuff. :)

PHILOSOPHY

"It is not wise to practice moderation to excess."
-Wisest fortune cookie I know

The unexamined life is not worth living, but the un-lived life sure as hell isn't worth examining.
-Socrates (mostly)

“They made you miss everything… it was a musical thing and you were supposed to dance…” –Alan Watts

"The most contrarian thing of all is not to oppose the crowd but to think for yourself." -Peter Thiel

“It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” -Jiddu Krishnamurti

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I've met some of my closest friends here. Nuff said.

Centres d'intérêt

New experiences and ideas!

Dancing, volleyball, yoga, frolicking outside...

Lifestyle design, wellness, authentic connections, personality psychology (shout-out to Myers-Briggs), philosophy, intentional communities, minimalism, decentralization, cultures, the future, the big picture...

Open conversation, (over)analysis, laughing, a healthy dose of abandon...

This is a Couchsurfing account… do I even need to include traveling and meeting interesting people?

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

These lists are so hard. So here are a few current favorites!

Books - The More Beautiful World our Hearts Know Is Possible
Movies - Interstellar, The Shape of Water
Shows - Community, Rick and Morty, Silicon Valley, Battlestar Galactica, BBC Sherlock
Music - I'm failing to narrow this list. So I'll just say, I tend to love music that feels like it plucks my heartstrings, that makes me want to dance and sing with joy, and music I describe as "heroic melancholy" (like post-rock)

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I would LOVE to share my passions! A few examples. I'd have a ton of fun...

-helping you discover your actual Myers Briggs type and how you can use that to better understand yourself and others. Bonus: I get to know you way better through this process too :)
-sharing what I know about minimalism and decluttering to help get more of the BS out of life
-sharing my wellness and functional medicine knowledge. If you want, we could even do something like a "healthy home upgrade" on your house. Or we could practice some meditation and self-care techniques, or do a personal health consult. Whatever you're interested in! (For free, obvs.)
