CURRENT MISSION

To be healthy, learn all I can about health, and share what I learn with others

ABOUT ME

I'm interested in traveling, health - nutrition, exercise, functional movements, growing food, learning more about cooking, yoga, Vipassana meditation... if it has to do with becoming more healthy, it is interesting to me :-) I also enjoy meeting new people, new experiences, reading, writing, and a lot more. If you'd like to read some of my writing, check out riverbearfitness.com, I write on a range of topics :-)

PHILOSOPHY

I try and be as mindful as I can to my surroundings. I try my best to understand; to interpret. Learn everyday from my experiences

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think its a neat way to travel and meet new folks - and when I have a place, I'd like to give folks a place to stay for a night or three

Teach, Learn, Share

I read a lot about alternative medical techniques, nutrition, health in general. I know some about plants - mostly things like family names/groupins or poisonous/medicinal properties. I love sharing this stuff to people interested in it. I'm a certified personal trainer and yoga instructor and have a degree in biomedical science
