Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Engage with everything lovely!
ABOUT ME
I absolutely love asking questions, it's been the motivation behind most of my pursuits thus far. I think that honest questions are the gateway to honest connection, and what's better than a soul-chat between two individuals?
My love of questions is the motivation behind my travels, it is also the basis for my project "questioneering". I'm on a search for the intangible, and I'm happy to report: it's going quite well. I'd love to interview you if getting real appeals to you, but no pressure if its not your cup o' tea.
PHILOSOPHY
I tend to gravitate toward an "it's all wonderful" philosophy, although to be sure, I carry along ideologies worth shedding.
In short: I love to love people.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Currently on-the-road, and I'm really excited to host once I settle into a steady location. While a place to stay is absolutely amazing, I'm also just looking to connect to individuals in the cities I visit, and cities I've yet to visit. Let's be friends!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
A lot of my couchsurfing experience actually has happened independent of this website so far, making friends of friends of friends who are willing to lend me a bed for a few nights or months.
Interests
The most general answer I can give would be: creating. I love making things happen, with my mind, with my hands, my will, etc. Let's make stuff together!
Honesty expressed through communication be it verbal, physical, lyrical, visual, etc.
Writing, I would say fiction writing, but most of my fiction material draws heavily on my personal experiences.
- writing
- cooking
- traveling
- music
- violin
- languages
Music, Movies, and Books
Oh my god. This is so much.
In terms of media consumption: I feel that if something moves me, to action especially, I can dig it.
I mostly love whatever I'm invested in currently, right now that is:
-learning violin gypsy jazz
-reading a book on spanish linguistics, open veins of latin america, and
-audio recording lil' treasures
-music production (which I know nothing about, but would love to know a lot about)
One of my all time favorite films: The Fountain.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Whatever I'm doing right now.
That's a bit idealistic, but it's what I want to feel like and so that counts for something.
Teach, Learn, Share
I've played violin for 14 years, I can teach you/your kids how to play. I've also taught music theory in the past to young 'uns.
I've got a decent base in Spanish, and French and I'm willing to assist with those two languages, as well as help English-learners develop their conversation skills.
Um, also, I have these two amaaazzzing cookbooks in my traveling library: Gran Cocina Latina, and Cookwise. Let's make something together!
What I Can Share with Hosts
Cooking! Cleaning! An awesome/excited attitude! An adventure buddy! Jam Sessions! Laughs! Soul times! Help with anything really.
