About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To acknowledge what is before me, the world...

ABOUT ME

I like to be silly. Sharing is cool. The ability to thrive as a human (for me) is to continue to meet and know good people. People who walk to the beat of their own drum make me feel warm and cozy, and when I can walk beside them to the beat of mine and it works, wow. I love smiling and laughing and having fun. It's all about realizing that all people are sentient beings, and consciously observing that.

PHILOSOPHY

Follow your bliss, and it will follow you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love this project. I sleep on couches and I want people to sleep on mine!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Love it! Stayed with a couple of folks around Europe and not a complaint comes to mind, in fact I could go on and on about the postive aspects of it all. Wahoo! Keep it up cs!

Interests

I love people, they are my main interest. Beyond that art is the love of my life, which I frequently cheat on with travel. I love the beach, any natural water, yoga, mountains and mole hills, seasons, hot tea, hugs, art, reading, writing, LAUGHING, cooking, eating...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I can say that I have done was working at an Easter Seals Camp in Oregon, right when I returned from Italy. I learned more in those five weeks than I feel like I've learned this lifetime. I will never forget to feel thankful for my abilities again.
