ABOUT ME

I'm easy going, laid back, couch-potato at heart, but passionate about exploring the world thru the lens of Here & Now.

I study people's feelings, thoughts, & behaviors using mobile devices, area of interests = mindfulness, addiction, & trauma.

PHILOSOPHY

"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field.
I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about." - Rumi

"Can you say 'yes' to the aliveness that lives through you?
How deep can that 'yes' go?" - Tara Brach

"Between stimulus and response there is a space.
In that space is our power to choose our response.
In our response lies our growth and our freedom." - Viktor Frankl

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

To meet people, explore things local, & save money!
