About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The universe is a body and like a white blood cell I will rush to wherever I am needed

ABOUT ME

I´ve been going to school (sometimes) and living in San Diego for the past 4 years. Last semester (fall 08) I did a study abroad in Argentina and backpacked around Brazil for a couple of months after the program ended. I have just relocated to northern California and now reside in Berkeley and wear flowers in my hair ;)

PHILOSOPHY

No matter where you go-- there you are.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have very recently begun to surf couches. When I am home and have a couch, you can sleep on it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The idea is a truly revolutionary way to make new friends and experience local culture while traveling. It is an awesome way to pay it forward.

Interests

I like modern art (but none of that free-standing toilet stuff), Gothic architecture, page turners, big waves, sunshine, meeting new people, seeing new places, hardwood floors, home decorating + good: music, wine and men

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite movies (which I can recall right now) are Mambo Kings, I Heart Huckabees, Road to Perdition and What Dreams May Come.
Interpol, Band of Horses, De La Sol, The Cat Empire, Bebel Gilberto, Vivaldi and Al Green are some of my choice fodder for listening,
and books are great, wanna trade?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

God is in the details (and by God I mean a common spirit).
I love details! If I could just touch native rugs woven by people from all over the world, if I could just dance with everyone, smell their smells, befriend their women, kiss their men, swim in their waters and close my eyes with my face lifted to their sun, then I would be happy.

Argentina, Brazil, France, Mexico, United Kingdom, Uruguay

Countries I’ve Lived In
