CURRENT MISSION

to free myself

ABOUT ME

I unashamedly love eating, all the time. But dirt, rocks, and fresh air are my soul's food. I listen and watch.

I think that I was an African Elephant in a past life (although it is possible that I could have been an Indian elephant).

I'm a free spirit, but it will take a while to gain my trust. I love people, their lives, and their stories. people who create things out of nothing are fascinating to me, and I hope to be one of them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have not hosted yet, but I am able to do so

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have made contact with several people (who have all been very enjoyable), but I have never surfed overnight... but that time will come!

Interests

ADVENTURING. I try to not be afraid of much (or I convince myself that I'm not afraid and therefore usually deceive myself at least to a slight level of success).

Rocks. and fresh bread.

I am very interested in exploring the relationship between people, spaces, communities, and the arts that draw them together.

And, appreciate silence. For various reasons.
