Hi, Reader, and welcome to my (ambiguously concise and eccentrically eclectic) "about me" section! 🙂🙏

My name is Dj. I'm a level 32 male, who's been (mostly) sauntering and working throughout the U.S.A. for 11, ongoing nearly 12 years. I deeply enjoy fond memory-making, natural spaces, simplicity, togetherness, and wellbeing. Activities-wise, I chef consistently, dance, (mostly flora, etc), love making music (live is sublime), read voraciously, frequently make myself of service, meditate, talk with strangers (lol!), and travel extensively in natural spaces. Oh! I also embody paradox well? Someone once told me that, and this felt pertinent to list..

If I were writing this approximately two years ago, I'd have written about enjoying physical training, yet alas, life recently shifted. I began experiencing some residual trauma symptoms from a concussive accident (damaging nerves in my upper and middle neck) sustained during an Army combatives exercise during the summer of 2009. Flash-forward back to present, and combined with a recently sustained (and ultimately RE-symptom-triggering) shoulder injury, I've become limited in my own ability to exercise, mobilize ("like normal"), etc. I remain fairly functional, with no reason for anticipating any worsening physical symptoms, but with insurance in Virginia, and me visiting in Oklahoma, a health-care coverage returning voyage is a'foot! (open to questions)

So, I'm returning to Virginia, whilst continuing building, connecting, living (loving!) life, pursuing V.A. disability claims, becoming gainfully employed, and creating a home-base or professional sustainability to travel.

I cannot, currently, verify this account, because of recent extemporaneous medical expenses. I am, however, equipped with plentiful (personal) references, and have shared (some) photos from traveling 😊🙏

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling, and I'm looking for help during a temporary medical situation..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've saved three lives? I see Self looking back through "another's" eyes? I sometimes rhyme? Happily cried, learned from lies, surprised-surprise, and most amazingly of all, I've lived, alive..

Teach, Learn, Share

Any way of being, and bringing that about, which is enhancing wellbeing!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can currently offer exchange in forms such as cleaning/maintaining household/property, being a healthy friend, professionally relevant and safe services (enhancing inner/outer wellbeing, adventuring spiritually, and more; just listing a few!), financial assistance for foods, travel buddy, and more! Eventually, soon, I can offer more resources 🙂
