CURRENT MISSION

to live full, love unconditionally, travel the world, enjoy life, go deep, let go, harmonize with the way things are, just be.

ABOUT ME

I'm an extremely passionate person who believes life is definitely too short to waste... so i live it to the full, love to the max and serve people with my whole heart. I love adventure, hence why i've chosen to travel around the world the past few years of my life leading teams throughout the world serving and loving on people in any way possible. I am a photo journalist who does speaking engagements (motivational), art shows, shoots weddings, bands, etc... writes and shoots for several magazines... has a notecard company, works for a travel company, is a yoga instructor... and more. I love meeting new people and hearing their story...

PHILOSOPHY

Being present, living in the now.... Believing in oneness with the divine source and all creation. Being loved by that source, loving myself and others unconditionally.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When i am home, I'd love to take you out for coffee if you are passing through Arkansas or Tennessee in the states. If i'm at a home w/ a couch i'll let you use it, but most of the time i'm looking for my own couch.
