CURRENT MISSION

To spread love and joy wherever I go & to see the world from a new perspective

ABOUT ME

My dream is to travel the world and help impoverished woman become sustainable and empowered along with helping them find a sense of meaning in their lives. I am an occupational therapist who has a passion for life and traveling. I love meeting new people who open my mind to new cultures and perspectives. I also find that these people help me discover yet another layer of myself. I hope that I will have more opportunities to host surfers to share a small part of myself and my New England culture.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live. Happiness comes from finding balance in your life. Balance will come once you find inner peace and allow yourself to live the life you intended to with no limitations.

"Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity." - Buddha

Sonder: "The realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

CS meet ups & surfing of course! Have only had the chance to host 2 times given the fact I live in a very small town in which no one really wants to visit :/
