CURRENT MISSION

Adventure. Fun. Play. Connection.

ABOUT ME

My main interest at the moment is figuring out what it means to incorporate adventure into my life. I am a great hiker, a terrible singer, a pretty good cook, a dog person, an inveterate traveler, a rafting enthusiast, a very talented masseur, a teacher, a learner, an explorer, a seeker, a reader, a movie buff, and an avid conversationalist.

I have a very corny, terribly pun-tastic, and often sarcastic sense of humor.

PHILOSOPHY

Plan well, then improvise as needed. Exercise, a healthy diet, and meditation go a long way toward happiness. Expose yourself to other ideas and ways of thinking to enrich your own. Benefit from the knowledge and experience of others.

For a while, I searched for answers outside, by traveling and seeing other parts of the world. I have learned that these answers are within us. We need only let go of the things that distract us from them to find our more authentic selves.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I am traveling rather than hosting. I might be open to hosting on weekends.

Couchsurfing is an avenue for adventure, play, and connection.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been invited randomly to stay with people in Ireland and China and probably a couple of other places as well. Each time it raised the quality of the experience by a degree of ten. Staying with local people you get insight and opportunities you wouldn't have staying in a hostel or a hotel. I very much enjoyed those experiences and I am passing on that good will to others.

I've now hosted oodles of people, and stayed with people a couple of times! Lets keep it going! :D

Interests

Traveling, hiking, white water rafting, horse-back riding, reading, movies, business, entrepreneurial doings, meeting people, having interesting conversations, lots of meditation, energy work, spirit guide(s), higher self, ascended masters, archangels, deities, activation, ascension, spreading empowerment, freedom, joy and love.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've ridden horse-back along the beach of Galway while the sun was going down and the tide coming in; enjoyed the Friedrichsbad baths in Baden Baden twice; been stranded in the Pyrenees; gone white water rafting under Mont Blanc in the Alps; hiked two volcanoes, one of which was active; kicked off my shoes in a [dirt cheap] private box for the Hungarian National Ballet in Budapest, visited the Great Wall and the Western Wall within a week of each other, and a host of other wonderful experiences I wouldn't trade for anything.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share Energy Healing:
Chakra Clearing, Violet Flame, Reconnection to Earth and Universal Energy, and balancing the energy within the body and the aura. Yay! Have you ever tried to OM while giving someone a hug? It's amazing!!

I do 3-4 kinds of energy healing now: Reiki, Pranic Healing, 22 Rays, and PSYCH-K.

I can teach the following:

Meditation: chakra meditation, spirit guide work, kundalini work, inner child work, chanting OM as loudly while I meditate so as to be as disruptive as possible.

Business: How to do it, and where to start

Medieval Studies: Interesting and Useless facts you'll never need to know

Public Health: monitoring and evaluation, emergency response

Metaphysical Perspective: I can give input from a metaphysical/energetic perspective on a really wide variety of issues.

Hiking: How to and how to have a lot more fun doing it

I'm really good for bouncing ideas off of, I give excellent feedback/insight for almost anything, and enjoy being able to do so.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Ask me about anything personal development releated or to do with energy work/spiritual stuff. Stuck somewhere in your life, maybe I can help you break through.
