CURRENT MISSION

To be present, be humbled and open to everything the present has to offer.

ABOUT ME

A young spirit with an old soul. A compassionate human being with a great appreciation for the little things and a constant sense of wanderlust.

PHILOSOPHY

Be Here Now. All that life is and all that it has to offer is in the present moment--this can sometimes be the single and most easily forgotten thing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although my experience with couchsurfing is minimal at this point, I have had nothing but positive experiences. What a beautiful way to experience people, places and cultures! I have been to birthdays, weddings, funerals sat at dinner tables and experienced the mundane and everyday life with some fantastic people and families thanks to this community. My intention is to continue traveling and exploring and to further reach this beautiful web that connects us all in one way or another.

Interests

People fascinate me. I live for what I gain through interaction with others on an every day basis. There is always something to be learned to to take away from every experience. At "home" my life seems to be a constant runaround of doing the things that feed my soul: Working with children, dancing, various forms of art, being in nature, always finding classes to quench my thirst for knowledge. Often too busy actually. The other part of my soul is fed with travel. I could strap on a backpack and set out for the unknown at any given moment...there is so much to be experienced I will go until my legs no longer carry me. ;)
