I'm a seeker interested in new ways of thinking and being. I love exploring ways to shape and alter our perspectives and to connect with others to share these discoveries. I'm always in search of creative and spiritual inspiration and understanding the mind-body intersection. I also love being in nature, music, good company and sharing a good meal. For work, I'm a freelance writer-editor who's worked in many sectors: cinema, nonprofit, community, international development, etc. I also sometimes make videos and take pictures. My friends say I'm an eccentric character with a strong personality, maybe because I'm always making puns.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm travelling through Latin America for the rest of 2018 and would love to meet up with cool people along the way. I just arrived in Mexico City and am using it as a "home base" to learn about the region and improve my Spanish as I prepare to head south.

Interests

I have a lot of diverse interests: for starters, the psychology of being, eastern and western philosophy, history, cinema, music with a groove where you feel the bass. I'm also down for bicycling, and making and eating good food, among other things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was recently at a Brazilian indigenous reserve where the community members shared very powerful stories of their struggles to protect their land and water. I had the privilege of being allowed to take pictures.

Teach, Learn, Share

Words are my profession and English is my first language. I can show you how to write well in English or proofread your work.

I'm a former caterer and cook, and can cook just about anything with a smile on my face. I love music and am always down for a good jam session.
