About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To persistently be fallen by fortune

ABOUT ME

I'm an exploring non-drama mama. Mobilized myself for so long, to so many places, in so many ways, for so many reasons.

PHILOSOPHY

What's your road, man? - holyboy road, madman road, rainbow road, guppy road...It's an anywhere road for every body anyhow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I now live in the Rancho Relaxo, where traveler's come to and fro...none through CS as of yet. Mainly beautiful musicians from across the States. Friends of friends of friends of friends, and that's how it all goes down. As a NYC native, I'm here ready to show travelers the otherside of the knick-knack pattywhack.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One of many darling experiences is meeting a super sweetheart that made the swaeetest confectionaries for some of the oldest temples in Nara, Japan.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I plunged into a bay of really awesome water around midnight. As I quietly floated there by myself, the entire bay slowly grew bright green...until the all bioluminescent plaktons around were likewise tickled by the raindrops and glowed.
