CURRENT MISSION

"Beauty will save the world." - Goethe

ABOUT ME

Me, shme.

I make drawings that are bigger than me because it makes me happy. I travel as much and as often as I can because that's how I learn new things. I have been known to take jobs I hate strictly to fund my travels.

There is your job, and there is your passion. If, one day, I can make those two into one thing, I will die happily. (At age 93, because a gypsy told me so.)

PHILOSOPHY

I choose to see the good in people. Anyone who tells you that you can't make that choice is lying to you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently I want to surf. Eventually I'll host.

Interests

Drawing, laughing, singing, traveling, museuming, exploring, cooking, loving, hanging out with animals -- domestic and wild, writing stories -- true and made-up, living gratefully.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I would say that trekking in Nepal for three weeks ranks as one of the foremost experiences of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm turning this into a list because that makes the most sense to me:

I'm really good at making a salmon fillet. I can show you my super-easy and amazing recipe.
I speak Russian, but I won't teach you swear words unless I'm drunk.
I tell a lot of bad jokes. I'm the master of puns.
I can put together an outfit like nobody's business.
