CURRENT MISSION

wild, magnificent collaborations here in greece with other kind and curious people.

ABOUT ME

helping hand, care clown, and letter writer.

i thrive on collaboration and play with everyone in my life from making exquisite corpses (surrealist drawing game) with children in a coffee shop to writing tickets for imaginary crimes with someone i just met on the metro. bringing laughter into the world, walking great distances, and storytelling are some of the things that bring me great joy. i am an improvisor at heart.

***PLEASE NOTE: i am only looking for new FRIENDS through cs. i am in a loving, healthy relationship and not interested in being contacted by people who have something else in mind. i'm sad to have to say this but i've seen more and more recently that people have other ideas about using this as a dating site. ***

PHILOSOPHY

be a helping hand. move with kindness, take deep breaths, laugh as much as possible, and listen. pay attention to the details. be present, write without thinking, and savor moments of solitude. accumulate more experiences than possessions.

"if you're falling, dive."

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

open hearted conversation. i'll walk with you until we fall over and by the end of the day we'll both be better for it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i was very fortunate to meet some wonderful friends for life in the cs hosts i had while traveling as a care clown through greece and serbia. while i am unable to provide a couch here in greece, i do meet up with travelers to share all i love about athens when i can. recently, i've begun organizing a series of cs events at one of my favorite places, feidiou 2, a rembetika in excharia, to give them an opportunity to connect with something meaningful to the culture.
