plotting and scheming

ABOUT ME

I do yoga, I love to eat, I study (too much), I travel (not enough), I laugh, I enjoy being dragged around, I'm game for almost anything, and I try to be good company.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is like the surf, so give yourself away like the sea - Y Tu Mama Tambien

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only officially couchsurfed once while in London. I stayed with an amazing couple who showed me around the city and introduced me to the concept of couchsurfing (they had hosted over 30 people, so they were quite experienced at explaining the ins and outs). Ever since, i've been in love with CS.

In August, i will be moving to Taiwan. Come visit and surf my couch!

The Arts, culture, walking, new things, listening and learning from others, dusk, travel, pigments, poetry, books, libraries, live music, sound, food, drinks, tea, the sacred, adrenaline rushes, naps, churches, scents, asian soap operas, story, all the things i don't know and want to know, painting, language, museums, water, religion, low-lit quiet spaces. . .
