About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Inspire people to live from their hearts and follow their dreams

ABOUT ME

Foody, Artist , Writer Spiritual but not religious, Fun. Go with the flow, adventurer. Open minded and love in depth conversations. Expanding my current level of consciousness by traveling. Looking to make a difference by meeting as many people as I can.
This trip to Explore Europe has been life changing and I look forward to seeing as much as I can. While pursing my dreams and listening to my Heart. You only have one life and it needs to be lived to the fullest. It can be challenging to follow ones heart but it is worth it. We get one life and I am making it my own. I would say I follow the beat of my own drum and make my own path.

I am the captain of my soul the master of my fate

PHILOSOPHY

Follow your Heart it's the best compass you have.
Feel your fears and do it anyway.
Just lean in.
All you need is love

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have gone to tons of CS dinners, meetings and Parties all over Europe mostly. I have surfed and gonna try it out state side. I would love to host as soon as I have my own place but currently still in transit a bit.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have had many amazing Hosts and that will grow as I continue with my travels. The coolest Experience was when I went to stay with Orhan and didn't know he did couch surfing till we met up with two other guys that were staying with him from CS. I met him at a hostel a couple of friends were staying at. I really love how that WORKED OUT. It was an amazing visit.

Interests

My top intrest right now is writing. I have written a few short stories. Hiking, art, traveling. I walked the El Camino in 2013 and it was life changing.
Sports, biking, art, theater, people watching. Just chilling with friends. Writing, because I can say writing every other word and it might not be enough. Spoken word really anything creative, drawing, painting, collage. I am finally getting back into my creative life after it was neglected for too long. Live music, dance breaks. Animals of any kind.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books I read, Paulo Coelho- wonderful Author
I read all genres. I love to read. I just read the Divergent series.
Sci-fi Starborne.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are too many to just list one.....But being Alive that's pretty amazing.
Living in Alaska traveled all over US
walking the Camino In Spain
Being on a German missile ship. Active in Savannah, GA
Having a child
Owning my own business
Speaking in front of hundreds of people
Facing my Fears and living my authentic self

Teach, Learn, Share

Guitar I want to learn. Also I need to learn another language I love languages but still trying to figure out the English one. At least that was the running joke in Greece when I was at a language exchange group. I have traveled all over and meet people and experienced a lot in my short time on this earth. I love traveling but one thing I've learned is when you are solid in you every place feels the same when you are deeply connected to all that is. There is no seperation it's just in our minds. Our hearts unite everything.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Myself. I love when two people meet and we exchange views and ideas that spark each other to open to new possiblities. Life has endless opportunities and that magic happens from new perspectives shared.

Countries I’ve Lived In

Greece, Turkey
