About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make a valuable contribution and saturate myself with the wonders of the world.

ABOUT ME

I have many passions about the world and how we interact with it including other-than humans. The desire to make a valuable contribution has me currently redefining my job and overall wants in my life and living abroad & travelling always provides great perspective & creative thinking.

PHILOSOPHY

Keep your head clear, your heart open and your feet dancing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couch surfing is a great idea and I always advocate for its worth with good company and honesty. Finally I've moved into an apartment where my housemate & I can welcome travelers!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My couch surfing experiences through Africa, Europe & USA have always been extremely positive with kind, interested and generous hosts. As yet, I have yet to sleep on an actual couch, always having my own bed and room! My hosts have gone out of their way to help me feel at home and familarise myself with their city and show me local life.

Interests

My sensitivities about our globe have defined my life habits more & more. I now want to build a business for myself here in Santiago around mushroom cultivation & community urban gardening. I have been trying to maintain a mostly vegan diet for about 2 years now & as a result have been enjoying cooking more & more also. I've always loved to use my body & have practices yoga for over 15 years. Just this year I have started to learn tango & snowboarding, both of which I'm now quite addicted to.
