June 2024: Currently in Marthasville, Missouri USA. Helping to run a local food coop, CSA, Small farm and restore a historical village! I have never loved my life more.

Please, “come as you are", bring your whole real self! And, Ill do the same. We’ll meet and go from there. 💜🌻

I would call myself an explorer and wonder-er (not wanderer=), at heart. I find the most exciting place to explore is actually the vast expanse of my inner world. It's unlimited, unconditional, it never lies and I can always go there for a trusted place to laugh, cry, seek solace or wisdom or hang out with some great company (because I find myself pretty entertaining).

I find that what shows up to explore in my outer world (or on the pages of my storybook) can have me running the gamut of emotions but I enjoy meeting this head on and I've observed my typical approach to any day or situation being to observe, wonder and work towards always responding with my best... and then I do a pretty good job getting back to awe.

In other words I LOVE to be alone yet I also enjoy the deep companionship of others.

~I've been called a deep thinker and an enchanting conversationalist (when inspiration hits, otherwise I can be pretty silent). I don't necessarily have favorite topics as much as favorites ways of conversing - supporting a conversation, be it movies to economics or even just silence is an art that I'm learning. But I love wondering why I do what I do.

~I love to play, and have an unencumbered silly side.
~I'm always seeking to understand and help others to understand what they want as well.

~My aim is co-creation and joy from its contemplation. Pretty simple but requires flexibility, agility, and big open eyes 👀 because in joy there is meaning and that can look an unfathomable number of different ways.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am mainly to here to connect with others to stay with when I am moving about from place to place.

When I have the space available, I'd love to host as well.

I like to watch how I am piecing life together with variations, like nature does, by following my heart. Couch surfing is a wide and varied platform for answering desires and so it aligns with my values in a unique way.

Music, Movies, and Books

I learn a TON from movies especially Disney / animated and fairy tales, I find them to be full of all sorts of great lessons and truths and refer to them often in my own life.

My top 5 movies are:
Captain Ron
Everything Everywhere All at Once
Stardust
Under the Tuscan Sun
Harry Potter
Lord of the Rings
ummmm.... I cannot wait for maybe Peter Jackson to get his hands of the Neverending Story and do that book some movie justice

Books:
Anastasia, The Ringing Cedar Series of Russia (10 books in total - #4 is my favorite)
The Neverending Story
The Book of Mirdad
The Untethered Soul
The Messenger, Living on Love + A weekend with a Drunken Leprechaun (Same Author)
The Alchemist
The Celestine Prophesy
Harry Potter

Music:
I can enjoy pretty much everything from EDM / house / World / Ibiza -type to country to robot music to power metal to 80's to oldies and classic to reggae and some rap to mantras, instrumental. Music that makes my heart brighten and my being radiate. A song that always gets me is 500 miles by the Proclaimers...since I was a kid.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recognized when I wasn't okay, made the moves to be okay, and now I find myself more peaceful, not taking things personally, and very difficult to offend. I'm genuinely transforming, but slowly, like the growth of a plant.

Teach, Learn, Share

All knowledge throughout human history and probably the future too can be accessed by anyone, it's just a matter of recalling it or summoning the information to your present moment - and that is what it is to learn or create. Especially when you fully comprehend something, you can recall in precise detail each moment and put things together as you wish.

Repetition certainly helps form the understanding to comprehend what is being presented to you, as does a solid belief that this is what is happening.

What I Can Share with Hosts

An open heart
Adaptability
A collection of Questions
Smiles, laughter, and silliness
An open mind and "come as you are" attitude
The love of a clean happy healthy dog with velvety soft fur that smells good, naturally
