CURRENT MISSION

Just wanna have fun, make you laugh and make people feel happy! What can I do for you?

ABOUT ME

I am a goof, but also a critical thinker. I do looove talking politics but can go with any conversation. I find myself loving traveling the more I do it. I am a HUGE animal person and seriously want to have a farm when I am older where I house abandoned or saved-from-meat-factories animals of all kinds.

I feel like I am artsy even though I can't paint for shit or draw or...anything artistic for that matter except music, cooking, and interior decorating. I am trying hopelessly to form a band of some kind, rap group, but people are so flakey! BUT I really love and appreciate art of all kinds.
I would also really like to learn more about computers and math - so tutor me!
I loooooove to be active: anything but running. I cant stand running. I love sailing, kayaking, surfing, anything water related and I loooove biking.

PHILOSOPHY

Intellectual artist by day, jester by night.
"When all is futile, the absurd becomes the norm!" Stanely Couch
Life is a dream. Dream it large. I am a Fantasy MD...You need a dose of Fantasy medication? I think it is the best drug of all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have to admit at first I was kinda nervous about this but when I looked at the site a little more I immediately fell in love with this project. I hope to not only perpetuate the exchange physically by allowing people over, but also letting people into my heart....meaning that I hope to make life long friends and connections across the globe

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Yaay! My first couchsurfing experience was in Berlin with Andre and I hope to gain more good times with other people meeting up for coffee, having them over and/or showing them around SF!

Interests

buddhism, meeting people, cooking, doing anything outdoors, jamming out with an accordion or guitar or any other instruments and pretending to know what I am doing, listening to all kinds of music, mulling around and thinking about doing something, starting to do something, then flaking out and ending up watching the sunset

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I wanna say that my mom's spirit amazingly allowed her to overcome fatal cancer, but to be truly honest, there are amazing things done everyday by people and they are simply random acts of kindness. We (or the media) just don't acknowledge them. For example, I lost my wallet in San Francisco and this couple calls me and drives it all the way to my house 1 hour away! Then, in Hawaii I was a security guard (yep you read right) and I made friends with all the homeless and crazies. People are TRULY amazing!
