About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Aimlessly wandering the world

ABOUT ME

I'm into exploring alternative lifestyles and ways of doing things. I write about my experiences with engaged living, mindfulness, spirituality and travel-living on The Mindful Word (http://www.themindfulword.org).

I've been travel-living in different parts of the world since 2007 and am currently in Europe.

PHILOSOPHY

To be the truth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted and surfed for a few years now in North America, Asia and Europe.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

What a beautiful way to connect! I cherish my hosting and surfing experiences. I've had great conversations, connected really easily with people I just met, brought various surfers together and shared commonalities. I love how travel can break down barriers and show us how we're all the same, united as one.
