The more I live, the more I learn how much joy and opportunity can be found in unexpected people and places! I love to explore the depth of reflection through others and am interested in many topics, and would love to get to know myself better through learning about you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a traveller, I always seek to live like a local, and I love learning about different life experiences and sharing space and food with others. While I honestly haven't had much opportunity to take advantage of this amazing community so far (as I often seem to find pre-existing connections when traveling!) I hear from great friends and understand that Couchsurfing is a great way to explore with the added benefits of interesting and valuable insight from friends who know their way around :) I'm so grateful for this rich resource!

Interests

I'm drawn to intelligent systems in nature and human creations inspired by them! I spend a fair bit of time thinking about flying and am learning to allow opportunities involving this kind of reality into my experience. I have a great love for both cityscapes and open space in nature, so environments that inspire me to express myself in creative ways are pretty easy to find. I am always seeking to notice and challenge my limiting beliefs, so enjoy deep spiritual or philosophical conversation. Will you be my next teacher? :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to many kinds of music and particularly enjoy ambient instrumentals, chill electronic, downtempo, trip-hop, funk, afro-beats... the list goes on but I want to learn about what you listen to!

I rarely watch movies but enjoy comedy, psychological thrillers, films related to technology, ecology and spirituality, mysteries and documentaries. My taste in books is similar.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've flown 2 planes and counting so far this year! A dream come true for me :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a percussionist and also find much joy in singing and the creation of melodies (sometimes on keys). At times I can be found lost in some form of fine art– sketching or maybe something spontaneous and three dimensional. I love a good teaching moment, jam or collaboration when it feels natural! I am happy to share my knowledge and skills.

I've been a yoga student for nearly a decade and am happy to share my practice. I am particularly drawn to Ashtanga, AcroYoga and silent meditation.

I'm also always game to share information and ideas on anything to do with food!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am quite comfortable in a kitchen and would be pleased to lend a hand in yours or even cook up and serve a nice meal :)

I may also be intrigued to hear about your business or project... After a decade of working in graphics and identity systems design, my mind goes quickly into wanting to understand your visual communication needs.

I'm also a perpetual student of permaculture, always ready to build on my learning and connect more dots together with the people that I meet!
