About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world, love the people.

ABOUT ME

Nomadic by nature, yet willing to stick around.
Inexperienced, yet adventurous in spirit.
Childlike, but not childish.
Mature for my age, though young at heart.
Spontaneous, while tending to over-think.
A teacher, but also a constant student.
Curious, at times shy.
Constantly laughing, I look better with a smile.
Avid storyteller, always ready to hear other stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am just getting to know the CS community. Unfortunately for now I am neither traveling nor am I able to offer a couch, but within the year one of those things will be changing.

For now I am ready to meet, talk to, or have a drink with other CSers.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like good stories. Lately, I have been reading a lot of books on adventure therapy and cultural geography. I also like to read childrens/young adult novels like The Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson... may be due to my education background. (Not to mention they are fast, easy reads.)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As I climbed to the tallest of the foothills of the Himalayas, a shepard boy taught me to call sheep with no words at all. After he ushered me up the rest of the mountain, I was rewarded by watching the most beautiful sunset in the world. As the sky darkened and the stars began twinkling above the horizon line, the lights of the villages in the valleys below mimicked the stars creating a surreal mirror image in the landscape before me. Simply mesmerizing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can fire dance.

I want to learn more Spanish.

I am a collector of hobbies from woodworking, to wine tasting, to fire dancing... I'd love to learn more.
