About Me

i either speak too much or not at all.

i feel paradoxical

***my daughter is magic***the center of my universe***

"home is where the heart is" youll get this if you visit pictures of my home :)

i am a newbie with travel and this community. I haven’t travelled besides when I was a kid with family. I'm hoping to fullfill some dreams of travel and gain some experience and confidence as it feels a bit scary right now, especially with a young one. I seek/ set intention of adventure, growth, healing, discovery and not ending up in pieces at the bottom of a sink hole.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As surfer
1) make connections. i find it hard to connect with ppl on a deep soulful level and it could be my own fault. im hoping to find trust again in myself and in others. Find some healing. Learn something- grow.
2) have a safe place (hopefully) to stay while in a foreign place and possibly someone to give us tips. advice. suggestions of things to do and see and visit (from a local of the area) and learn about their ways of life esp if it vastly differs
3) travel on a budget

As host
Provide a safe place to stay. Help out other travellers on a budget. Be a friend.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

birthing my daughter.

Teach, Learn, Share

We are all each other’s teacher and student. Being with people in different wakes of life will expand our awareness and awaken inside us- the knowledge that we are all one.

“We”re all playing the same game; just different levels. Dealing with the same hell; just different devils” reminds me that we’re all struggling with something. Be kind. we’re all universally tied through our emotions and collectively enmeshed through mere existence. Pain is pain. Love is love. We all bleed red.

QUOTE that leaves me enthralled- and reminds me to breathe, and take things less seriously- “What if our whole life is a dream and when we die- we wake up?” -unknown

A lover of all kinds of art. I love to watch people create and express art, even watching people write..pen on paper- its fascinating, its art- to me. this quote resonates with my feelings-
“I think everything in life is art. What you do. How you dress. The way you love someone, and how you talk. Your smile and your personality. What you believe in, and all your dreams. The way you drink your tea. How you decorate your home. Or party. Your grocery list. The food you make. How your writing looks. And the way you feel. Life is art.” -Helena Carter.

i believe we are all interconnected beyond the 3D ideas that separates us by religion, race, gender, identity, beliefs, culture, social, political, sexual orientation- you name it..if you aren’t into that spew just now that’s okay too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

i dont promise anything. i can say that i am kind and get along with you well if you are kind and good at communicating and are honest. the more authentic and comfortable you are- the more at ease i am. i think i pick up on other peoples energies at times. i can share honest exchanges. laughter (one sided guaranteed, feel free to join in)- I reactively laugh when I’m awkward as a coping mechanism. memories for the books, good or bad- i guess it depends on us. I am a great listener.. so to you my future friends- i can lend an ear if you need. sometimes its easier to talk to strangers than people you know. I can also teach you a little bit of Vietnamese, if you want.
