I am an artist / therapist / nature lover / imagineer living life on the road in perpetual motion. I take it as my duty to honor all the beauty in this world. I work in a psychiatric hospital , standing at the crossroads of life , offering a paint brush and a glimmer of hope to souls who seek this emergency room for the soul. To replenish my own light, I made a radical change. For the last 4 months, I have been traveling across the country between conscious gatherings , intentional communities , and natural wonders , searching for truth and my place amongst it all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that the most incredible experience in life is to walk into a home you have never been to and smile at a friend you have never met. Human connection is at the heart of travel and Couchsurfing is just that. I see new people as new books of experience and wisdom to be cherished.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 21, I lived on a ship and sailed around the world, visiting 13 countries in 4 months. As my study abroad project, I interviewed people in every country and asked them to define what peace means to them. I spoke to a spectrum of humanity, from an Ecuadorian taxi driver , to an Indian fortune teller, to a South African beggar, to Nobel Peace Prize Winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu. My collection of definitions is still growing and will one day become a book.

Teach, Learn, Share
