CURRENT MISSION

Bein' a fountain, not a drain

ABOUT ME

I like campfires and blanket forts and talking about things deep into the nighttime. I like exploring, reading, drawing, documenting, dancing, photographing, rhyming, arting, writing, wishing, wondering and wandering and burrying treasure. I don't like hand sanitizer. It's cold, and gross smelling.

Adventure is one of my favorite words. I love finding weird placed and photographing them! If you have any interesting places to share with me I would appreciate that endlessly. You can check out some of my work on: www.coristorb.com

I give people presents by hiding things in their empty shoes.

I like to listen to people talk. Stories are the best. I'm up for trading stories any moment of the day. Honestly, one of my favorite activities of all time is just to go for walks. Walks with friends or strangers or dogs to explore with. All I really want it just to walk around with you and we can find cool things on the ground and talk about what superpowers we want and I might take photos.

*I don't drink or do drugs but I will happily share a pot of tea or a dance with you*

PHILOSOPHY

~Things that are simple, but well intentioned often are the most powerful things of all.

~We are living at the most exiting pinnacle of history, so whatever you do, don't be bored!

~Love.

~People should be defined not just by what we do, but what we are willing to do without.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find that the more I travel the less I am interested in the sights and the food and the more I am interested in people. I want to explore the minds and lives of others - especially if they are different then me. To form genuine connections with new people. To learn more about the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode through the desert on the one day it rained for a whole year. The raindrops made all the giant black scarab beetles wake up underground and they all started digging out of the sand til the sky was full of humming black clouds.

Teach, Learn, Share

Photography. Hugs. Dances. Conversations. Adventures. Food.

I am also always happy to listen to whatever anyone wants to talk about. I walk around with a sign that says "Free Listening". I listen to strangers, and stories and hard scary things a lot. So if you want someone to talk to ~ I'll always be here.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell a magic tale or two. I can listen to anything that needs to be talked about. I can provide enthusiastic new friendship and kindness. I can help wherever you need me.
