CURRENT MISSION

To live fully, with intention, trust, passion and balance. To build my business and lifestyle to live part time in Brazil!

ABOUT ME

I love people, philosophizing, and being in wonder of life and the world around us. I love aerial dance in a Lyra (aerial hoop), it's my greatest passion. I LOVE sharing it with others and seeing how each body finds its own movement and expression. I've got Aries sun, Capricorn moon, and am an ENFP (Myers Briggs).

Hablo espanol bastante, y estoy aprendiendo Portugues tambien. Me gustaria mucho conocer companeros con quien pueda chatear en espanol.

PHILOSOPHY

Love. That is the only purpose, and the substance of Life.
"The Bird of Paradise alights only on the hand that does not grasp"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

the hosts and Surfers I've met restore my faith in humanity. This is the most genuine way to travel the world and exchange with people and a way that is almost tribal, familial, and true to our basic human nature.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed and hosted since 2010, and have met the most amazing people because of it. Each experience is filled with interesting people who expand my views of life and the world.

Interests

I'm artsy-craftsy, and love being cleverly resourceful. I live to be outside and barefoot - swimming, canyoneering, biking, hiking, rock climbing, camping. I thrive on all forms of physical movement. I love languages and cultures, and meeting new places. I practice yoga and meditation regularly, and study Ayurveda in my free time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2015 I went to Brazil with the intention of moving there, thinking things would fall into place once I arrived.. The result was a rather painful crash and burn. But I landed in an amazing hostel, Casa de Musica in lapa Rio de Janeiro. There I made very deep and lifelong friends with the family who lived there and travelers coming thru. There was a group of about six of us who lived there for 3 months, from different parts of Brazil. The time with them has completely changed me, and created the closest thing to a family I've had in another country.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an experienced bodyworker and energy practitioner (Reiki and core synchronism therapy). I love sharing these healing gifts in exchange for the abundant hospitality of people in the world. I love speaking different languages and teaching the ones I know.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I believe I am a good storyteller, and can inspire others to dream big and go for it. I love to cook and clean for my hosts, and give back in any way I can.
