About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Become one of the Planeteers

ABOUT ME

I love my friends. I am a traveler. I cannot stay in one place too long. I love reading and watching movies. I feel at home in just about any city or place. I moved to California a few years ago for grad school, now I am continuing the journey in Ann Arbor, MI.

PHILOSOPHY

Take life as it comes and have no regrets
"The Road is life" - Kerouac

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I tell everyone I meet about couchsurfing, which helps to spread the love.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's a way of life

Interests

I'm interested in just about everything. I love languages, history, science, literature. Also, I prefer hitchhiking to public transportation, more interesting!

Music, Movies, and Books

Novels by: Jack Kerouac, Alduous Huxley, Maya Angelou, Jacque Prevert, Jane Austen, Marguerite Duras, Tim O'Brien, Ayn Rand, Orson Wells and JK Rowling.

Music, Bluegrass/new grass/jam grass - anything with a banjo and/or a fiddle! better if there's both. My favorite band EVER is the Doors, but I'm into everything from ABBA to Zeppelin. Movies: the Departed, Boondock Saints, Kids, la Haine, Zeitgeist, Dogma, Cinderella Story, Mean Girls, Heathers, les Indigenes and Sleepover.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

seeing the ancient city of Petra in Jordan. staying at an orphanage in the mountains of Nicaragua. summitting Mt. Elbert (14,443ft) and eating my mom's zucchini bread. living in a tent in the US while riding my bike to work. feeling the real energy that people can bring to life.
