ABOUT ME

I would describe myself as a life-long learner with an insatiable appetite for gaining new knowledge and perspectives and meeting other open-minded people.

PHILOSOPHY

Live mindfully

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Although I've lived in San Diego for nearly two years, I'm still looking to make new friends and explore Southern California. I live downtown if anyone ever wants to get a drink or bite to eat. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've yet to couchsurf through this network, but I'm not new to sleeping on couches, air mattresses...bathtubs O_o

兴趣

Listening to (almost) all types of music, as well as classical vocal performance (though I'd be willing to try other genres).

I'll read just about anything

Eating clean foods, being active and enjoying what nature has to offer. Yoga, dance/bellydance/flailing around pretending to dance.

Vintage clothing and antiquing

音乐、电影和书籍

I enjoy movies, but I'm terrible at remembering titles...independent and foreign films, documentaries. My hometown friends and I used to get together to watch awful horror films (if you could call them that) and had a great time providing the commentary.

I'll read just about anything. A random sample of books that come to mind: Blessed Unrest by Hawken, The Hobbit, Brave New World, Jude the Obscure, the Harry Potter series, The Dark Beyond the Stars, The Martian Chronicles, The Glass Castle, Abarat, Lord of the Flies, Haunted by Palahniuk, The Road.

My music tastes are all over the radar: A Perfect Circle, Simon and Garfunkel, Massive Attack, Portishead, Tame Impala, The Helio Sequence, Karkwa, Deftones, Grimes, Gliss, Foo Fighters, Incubus, Hum, Gardens and Villa, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sister Nancy, Gregory Isaacs, The Breeders, The Pixies, Morrissey, The Smiths, Joy Division, Talking Heads, Henryk Gorecki, Arvo Part, Eric Satie, Debussy, Tarquinio Merula, Vivaldi, The Boswell Sisters, Rokia Traore, Crass, The Clash, Buddy Holly, The Smashing Pumpkins, some R&B and hip hop...

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I went to a corn festival in Adel, IA (because the Midwest is cool like that).

教，学，和分享

I would love to connect with other musicians in the area! I sing and I'm a beginning cellist (incredibly novice). I also took two years of music theory.
