"Peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God."
- 'Cats Cradle', Kurt Vonnegut

A little about myself. I love to travel, explore, and learn but life hasn't quite handed me the lemons to make lemonade. So for now, I can dream. Dream of one day seeing the summit of Denali, or biking across Canada, or hiking the entirety of the John Muir, or backpacking across Europe. For now, I can make huge lists of places that I hope to one day go to. Fingers crossed.

I would like to say I'm an amateur rock climber, but realistically I'm more of a professional faller. Ever since picking it up, I've been absolutely obsessed and though I'm far from ever making it a career, I can at least make it a driving motivation on my life. That and food. Good lord I love food.

Some other hobbies? Backpacking, hiking, camping, , yoga, slackining, reading, walking around cities aimlessly, concerts, attempting to dance but really just embarassing myself, drinking way too much coffee, meeting new people, and, last but surely not least, doing new things.

If you didn't already see from the above spew of words, I'm not a very serious person. I'm quick to laugh, slow to anger, and have an unconscious tendency to make awkward jokes with strangers who stand beside me on the bus.

Start with a quote, end with a quote, that's my motto.

"Dreams age faster than dreamers."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why not? I want to meet new people, explore new places, and travel; all without breaking my none-too-deep wallet.

-Aiden Knight
-Unknown Mortal Orchestra
-Dan Mangan
-Tash Sultana
-JAGD
-Aloe Blacc

BOOKS:
I'm an avid reader and dream of one day owning my own used bookstore when I retire. My current to-read list:
-Zen Flesh, Zen Bones
-Osho Meditation
(Currently on exchange and do not have books. Bring some if you come!)
