Native Texan, OIF veteran, and ambivert who works fulltime as a teacher.
I am owned by two cats, two dogs, and a host of other feathered friends.

My personal mission: Inspiring, educating, and empowering others to become the best version of themselves committed to authentic, empathic, wholistic living.

One of my personal beliefs is "Love All, Serve All" regardless of your most sincerely held religious, no religion, or spiritual belief.

I believe in mutual respect and understanding between folks with harming none but taking no s***. I live a life of service to others and this brings me joy.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting interesting people, traveling, and story sharing after having spent 12 years in an occupation where I moved every 1-2 years and lived halfway around the world.

I've been invited into the homes of complete strangers from different cultures and regions in the USA who became friends and family.

Upon leaving that occupation, I've spent the years since living in different places due to college and work.

We have so much to share and learn from one another that can be so enriching and create memories to cherish forever.

Интересы

I am rather eclectic with my tastes in books, movies, and music is based on my mood. I enjoy reading science fiction and books on holistic health, religious studies, and cooking. I don't own or watch television. I like almost all kinds of music, enjoy watching movies from home or in a theater with great surround sound, and I am a bibliophile (lover of books).

Музыка, кино и книги

I love adventure, sci-fi, suspense, horror, thrillers, and animated movies. I listen to a lot of Neo-Soul and Jazz music along with Pop, Trip-Hop, and Ambient. I love music in general and will listen to anything. I try to keep vibrating high.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I can coach/mentor about herbalism, holistic health practices, crystals, massage, health sciences, energy work, and healthcare. We can talk about philosophy, I can show you recipes from my childhood in Texas, or listen/talk about/share music. I am very happy to share my stories about my time in the military, the places I have lived/traveled, and about where I am from.

Чем я могу поделиться с хостами

Just ask any questions and I'll be happy to answer them based on the section "Teach, Learn, Share". I tend to keep mostly to myself and keep my living imprint as small as possible while respecting someone's home during my stay. I am no stranger to light housework or housekeeping and do enjoy cooking, so I can assist with those things as needed during my stay. I enjoy some light gardening.
