CURRENT MISSION: to be fully present in the moment

I am curious, a good listener, quirky, and openminded.

I've travelled quite a bit, but prefer immersion over dabbling. I grew up in various countries, so I don't have a "hometown", but I've been living in Houston for the past few years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like sharing worlds. You show me your world, I'll show you mine.
