CURRENT MISSION

To live completely and utterly in the present.

ABOUT ME

I am an avid student of Nature. I strive for balance and harmony in everything I do. Currently, I am on a quest to expand my consciousness, my capacity to love and be loved, and my repertoire of traveling experiences. I am looking forward to connecting with and learning from as many human beings as possible. I am ever grateful for the opportunities I have encountered so far and I look forward starting my couchsurfing journey!

PHILOSOPHY

"The clouds above us join and separate, the breeze in the courtyard leaves and returns. Life is like that, so why not relax? Who can stop us from celebrating?"
-Lao Tzu

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

There is nothing like a welcoming host, and I greatly appreciate, in advance, the availability of couches and amazing people I am about to meet. I believe couchsurfing should be an exchange, with each surfer and host learning from and helping each other. Harmony, gratitude and respect are the main principles I embrace in my couchsearch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet! Now I am finally on a journey to connect and share with each couch.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For about 2 months I lived out of a tent by a creek in the incredible wilderness of Colorado, where the desert meets the mountains, learning the basics of permaculture and organic gardening, getting to know the most amazing people. I also made an 8 days excursion To Wyoming for the Rainbow Gathering which was amazing to say the least.

Rendezvous with a sadhu in India

Teach, Learn, Share

Dandelions are powerful medicine! Try their young leaves in salads, older leaves boiled, flowers in wine or fried, and the root boiled after the flower has gone to seed.
I would be interested in meeting someone with more extensive knowledge of plants/herbal medicine
