Overview
About Me
I have lived a rich & abundant life! I plan to continue on that path until my body dies.
I've been in this couchsurfing community for over a decade & I've seen it all -
I am blessed to return here after a bit of a hiatus. I hope the healthy core values of this community are intact & other aspects that were unhealthy are reformed.
My life is so different than it was when I first became a member and simultaneously, in other ways, my firey constitution & passion for my spiritual path hasn't changed a bit.
In my experience & opinion, we are spiritual beings living a human being-ness in this life & our healing, independently & collectively, is occurring all the time.
Humor is such good medicine. I've got a joke, do you?
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Adventure. Friendship. Exploration. Beauty.
To share myself with others and to experience others share themselves with me.
To surrender to the beauty that we all are and have always been and will always be.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Hiked up to Ice Lake from South Mineral Road (along Million Dollar Highway) and it was absolutely breathtaking!
Teach, Learn, Share

Learn: When my house plant babes need to be propagated versus repotted?
Share: My experience, my presence & a wealth of randomness that is perpetually arising in each moment - we must be present in a moment together for this random in nature, generosity to be given & received on your end...
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can offer help in the kitchen, conversation, stories - I am a great storyteller! I am kind and can offer a number of concrete things like (hugs, laughter, a t-shirt if you need one) but I can also offer more abstract things like (poetry, curiosity, listening, genuine connection)
I also love kids! I am the ultimate Auntie in my personal world 🌎 I love playing with kiddos.
Dog walking, hiking, feeding, giving medicine.... all things dogs (& cats) - I care for animals as a side hustle.
