CURRENT MISSION

Enlightenment, or at least Laughter

ABOUT ME

Leading the contemplative life, without too much navel-gazing. Ecstatic dancing up a storm. Teaching High Schoolers about meditation and writing. Studying to be a therapist and group facilitator... :)

PHILOSOPHY

Thoreau said it better than I could. As did the Buddha.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Spreading the Love around, into nooks and crannies, like cookbooks from grannies'

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

New to CS. Mostly surfed friends couches.. Nothin' fancy.

Interessen

Backpacking, running, biking, yoga, meditation, swimming, ultimate frisbee, traveling w/o having to constantly photograph everything that catches my eyes, baking gluten-free goodness, eating gluten-free goodies, caffeine-fueled coffeeshop conversations, and making friends!

Musik, Filme und Bücher

most Terence Malick, some Jim Jarmusch, some Gus Van Sant, early Tarantino, anything Kubrick or Scorcese, Bergman & Fellini.... Musics I can dance to: Soulwax, 2 Many DJs, Daft Punk... Books with famous people on the cover... wait those are magazines! The New Yorker is quite enthralling

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Spent 3 days hiking atop the Great Wall of China: from strolling along refurbished sections teeming with tourists to slogging through lonely, ruined stretches gone completely green from overgrowth

Lehren, lernen, teilen

Bring or offer earplugs-- I owe many a nights rest to earplugs... thanks earplugs!

My warmth, my stories, my faith in humanity, and my gratitude
