CURRENT MISSION

To hear good stories, to tell good stories and to make good stories.

ABOUT ME

[I've been traveling the states using this account: http://www.couchsurfing.org/people/roadjackalopes/as with a friend if you'd like to read my references.]

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy is basically getting by, educating myself, respecting people, laughing and making people laugh. Every day I work on becoming all the people I want to be and having all the experiences I want to have. I'll try anything twice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In Brooklyn my housemate hosted a few CSers that I consequently hosted as well. I was inspired. Then I spent three months traveling the US with a friend couchsurfing much of that time (WWOOFing, camping and sleeping in the car the rest of the time).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed in Kentucky, Louisiana, Texas, Arizona, Mexico, California, Oregon, and Ohio. Hosted in Brooklyn.

Interests

writing, reading, drawing, traveling, spoken word, adventures, dancing, improv, stand-up comedy, feminist theory, performance art, cities, mindfulness, zen buddhism, eye contact, good conversation, coffee, laughing, learning.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have had some really fun experiences farming in Mississippi and Texas and made some really good friends doing it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to live out of a car and travel reeeeealllly cheap - I know a way to get a guaranteed, free hot meal every day you're on the road without asking anything of anyone.

I really wanna learn how to spin fire. And speak Spanish. Not necessarily at the same time; sounds hot.
