CURRENT MISSION

until further notice, celebrate everything!

I have learned a lot living in a small pueblo in Guatemala among people that have so much less then I do. The chirldren have especially inspired me to love freely, laugh often and alway give lots of hugs. I know no how to give the best hugs. So please ask if you need one or I may just hug you:)

PHILOSOPHY

"A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving." -Lao Tzu

"When I had nothing more to lose, I was given everything. when I ceased to be who I am, I found myself. when I experienced humiliation and yet kept on walking, I understood that I was free to choose my destiny.. "

"There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to host as often as I can and meet up with people that come to Colorado to show them around.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It has served me well! I humbly say "thank you" to all I have met and hosted.

Interests

I look forward to mornings I spend caring for myself, living with as much awareness as I can, eco friendly, tea with friends, laughing often, supporter of people with terminal illness, dancing to the songs in my head, learning the art of speaking another language (and it's kicking my ass but I'm fighting back), loving the ones I'M with, going somewhere new as often as I can and...gonna have to meet me if you wanna know more;)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love independent, foreign films and any music that makes me dance. I am also a sucker for old love songs. What can I say I'm a hopeful romantic.

I read a lot...The books I'm most drawn to now are about "Death and Dying". ( please don't let that scare you) I really want to be the best support for people in such an important time in their lives and reading has helped me a lot with that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Studied meditation with an Achan Sobin in Thailand Vipassana
