Hello fellow surfers! You can call me Ashlyn.

I am a fairly free spirited woman. I spend my time trying to challenge my comfort zones, supporting others through tough times, questioning thoughts, embracing who I am at heart, and living a life full of compassion and love. I believe that the universe provides and that I will always have what I need as long as I am giving what I can. Love attracts love.

"When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety; if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without pain. From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me. There is a great secret here for anyone who can grasp it."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have lived in some small towns and spent most of my life in the suburbs of Salt Lake. I had not experience much human diversity until I started traveling and when I did, my reality was rattled. I did not realize the subconscious judgements I had about life and the way it's supposed to be lived. I am on couchsurfing so that I can meet people from all cultures and walks of life and challenge the conceptions I have formed through my life.

Interests

The outdoors, climbing, mountain biking, skiing, snowboarding, good vibrations, dancing, and human connection.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

About two years ago I made the decision to change the course of my life and live a happy and fulfilling life. I steadily and dropped the negativities infiltrating my life and embraced mindfulness, compassion and peace.
