*I actually have hosted and surfed many times but it's been through either Couchsurfing hangouts, referrals or the last minute couch group in which ever city I happen to be down and out or happily about in.*

Passionate artist living and travelling in this world.

I have unlimited love in my heart for people, plants, animals and this moments existence. And if I ever were to be found, it would probably be with gaze upwards at architecture or intensely drawn to artworks somewhere, anywhere.

Poetry and incredible music. I am always fascinated by new mind-blowing suggestions the way of movies, music and books.

Being alone is an opportune virtue.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Laying down for a rest on Bob Marley's single bed in the mountains of Jamaica.

Slept in an Italian convent during a Saharan sandstorm, with only candles and wine to keep us vivid.

Climbed a length of mountains with a man who suffered enough to have it named now 'Blue Toe Gully'. (all survived)

Wilderness hiked for days with nothing but a dog, a pack and a flint.

Lived with fashion designer power couple in Rome in my tiny loft apartment off of their wrap around penthouse patio.

Camped off of the Great Wall of China.

Dove off of the cliffs of Lamma Island in HK.

Swam naked in the icy waters of Canada's Arctic.

Lived, travelled, solo, unscathed and ready to jump back into the fire.

I live to LIVE

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn! I love to teach, let's share our minds and set the world right

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to be able to paint something for you, or with you! A memento reminder of kindness
I can share a smiling conversation and stories of my experiences. Sharing each others knowledge is a wondrous way to multiply light in the world.
