CURRENT MISSION

To learn, to travel, to explore, to experience… "Out beyond ideas of wrong doing and right doing, there is a field. I'll meet you there." - Rumi

ABOUT ME

Hailing from the Bay Area, CA, I transplanted to Seattle, WA in 2003. I have a background in dance, eastern and western herbalism, music (rhythm), and writing. In the last decade I have spent most of my time and experience on learning more cultural forms of dance, including flamenco, salsa, and raqs sharki (otherwise known as belly dance). It is also in this last decade that I have spent dedicating myself to doing the things that I love. I am excited to explore the world as I've been bit by the scarab of movement! www.ceannadance.com www.honeyom.com

PHILOSOPHY

"Are you paralyzed with fear? That’s a good sign. Fear is good. Like self-doubt, fear is an indicator. Fear tells us what we have to do. Remember one rule of thumb: the more scared we are of a work or calling, the more sure we can be that we have to do it." - Steven Pressfield

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I trust that our companies would work well together, but along with that I'd love to help cook, clean, bring wine or treats, or take one out for a meal or a show!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've never had an experience from this site. However, I've had several experiences surfing on couches of sorts. Never a bad experience really.
