Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To be in places that inspire me to keep learning and creating
ABOUT ME
I'm focused on traveling right now to study with some of the great fire performers and to see amazing places and people. I studied painting and drawing in college, learned a lot about other cultures from books, and now I want to learn first hand about other cultures from listening to people, hearing their stories, and immersing myself in their culture.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
This project is all very new to me. I have a deep interest in understanding people and I love to share what I know.
Interests
Music is one of my deepest interests, and I listen to all types. I think the hardest thing for me to leave behind on travels tends to be my music collection. I read a lot, from political, philosophical, science, fiction, cook books, my interests are all over the place. I'm getting into yoga a lot lately. I'm obsessed with food too, and by that I mean I'm amazed at the importance of eating good food. I always want to learn more about nutrition and how certain foods and diets can heal.
