CURRENT MISSION

to live in the moment, carving out the life I want to be living, meeting and connecting with interesting people along the way, and making lots and lots of music...

ABOUT ME

Hmm... I'm a writer, editor, singer, songwriter, and I play guitar. Hiking, exploring, and traveling are passions of mine, and I'm in the process of breaking back into freelance work so I can do these things more often. In general, I love meeting new people and getting lost in good conversation, and I can just as easily get swept up in the metaphysical aspects of this life we're living as I can the physical.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I spent a year traveling and living out of my car, mostly throughout Washington state and the Pacific Northwest. I stayed at farms as a WWOOFer and surfed countless couches during this time and now I'm very excited to have one to offer weary travelers who are doing what I was doing back then and probably will do again one day...

Interests

singing, songwriting, playing guitar, making music with and for others, being in nature, writing, reading, connecting with the earth and what grows out of it, hiking, camping, meditation, exploring new places, eating locally and organically whenever possible, engaging in good conversation, sharing beautiful meals with beautiful people, cutting loose and dancing like a madwoman...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A few summers ago, while on Orcas Island off the coast of Washington, I saw a sunset over the Puget Sound where the sun was a radiant orb of iridescent orange, reflected on the water and centered between two colorful columns of a resplendent rainbow that stretched across the sky... It was magical.

Teach, Learn, Share

Singing, talking, making meals and music... Mostly a homebody but love to hike and soak in the hot springs here in town (healing waters!). I've got some finely tuned technical skills in the realm of publishing... writing, editing, proofreading, blogging, and manuscript preparation. But with where I currently find myself in life, I am more interested in sharing life stories and helping others to find inner peace and healing through whatever mode seems best to them. We already are everything we want to be; we just need to let go and discover it....
