CURRENT MISSION

Carpe Diem, credula postero quam minimo! -seize the day, trusting in tomorrow as little as possible!

ABOUT ME

Currently a student of Literature and Feminist Studies at the University of California, Santa Cruz. I love riding my bike, writing about my mis-adventures, reading about other peoples mis-adventures and drinking Chai lattes. I havent done much traveling but I do have many good stories!

PHILOSOPHY

Sieze the day! Trust in the future as little as possible. No time like the present.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Please sleep on my couch! I love meeting new people and showing them around beautiful Santa Cruz! :D

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None! That will change.....

Interests

I love a good auto-biography. National Public Radio fan. David Sedaris books on tape are a travel must for any road trip. Classics! Greek mythology or any Latin poetry. I took 5 years in High School so Catullus poems have a little place in my heart. Music of any kind, I just like to dance. I love telling stories! Growing up in a big Irish family, you l earn to dance for your dinner. No stories, no food! Haha. On the flip side, I am a GREAT audience for any stories of yours.

Music, Movies, and Books

Any David Sedaris!
Kite Runner

I love gangster movies. The departed, the ususaly suspects, casino, gangs of new york, raging bull.
Good cult classics as well. Clockwork Orange, Psycho, the Birds, actually, must Hitchcock tickles my fancy....

As far as music, im TOTALLY eclectic. Anything from Devendra Banhart to Jurrasic 5. In the last month I have seen Grace Jones, Of Montreal, a few local LA bands, and in one week Im seeing Atmosphere. Like I said... all over the place.
