About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live with a heart of peace.

ABOUT ME

I am doing a masters in global environmental policy at American University with focus on climate change mitigation/adaptation strategies through energy and environmental policy.

PHILOSOPHY

"This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness." -[Dalai Lama]

"How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted in the past but I am currently traveling and do not have a couch to offer. I would love to surf around though as I visit new places!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The first surfers that I ever hosted was a group of 5 college students traveling through Nashville, TN. They were a lot of fun and it got me super excited for becoming an active part of this community!

I don't have a couch to offer right now, but I'd love to surf.

Oh.. where to start... if I get to meet you I'd be happy to tell you stories of my rock climbing adventures in Colorado, California, Nevada, and around the southeast.

I'm an avid rock climber and love to teach it. I practice meditation and love to share it's transformative power. I contemplate the nature of life and enlightenment with an endless passion and love to share my perspectives.
