ABOUT ME

My Mission...
To build an understanding of Mother Earth and her children, and hence better understand myself and my place in this Universe and how I can best serve our global interest.
This world is small enough to become familiar with, so why rely on stories of traveling from others? I am going to use my life to make a positive difference: this happens with mindfulness and an open heart and mind.

MY CREDO:
-treat others with kindness and respect, always.
-utilize truthful communication and power of choice (and accept responsibility of these)
-listen closely when others speak
-eat well!
-smile, laugh, enjoy

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined couchsurfing as part of my scheme to rebel against the power of money. It is something that I wish to live without, since it skews personal values and encourages selfishness. Community, personal relationships, and sharing are what I value in any circumstance. I want to hear about your life and what you think of this world. This community is an amazing tool to connect like minded individuals from around the globe.

Interests

I love being active, whether it is walking, hiking, biking, skateboarding, swimming, dancing, or cooking. I like to bike on the roads or the trails.
In contrast, I also enjoy bonfires, reading, and stargazing.
I don't mind pub nights, but I'd rather spend that money on camping or museum fees. I love to spend time in nature and this is where I will most likely pull out my camera. I usually carry around watercolour paints.

I like to eat as vegetarian and healthy as possible, but I adapt easily to whatever is available. Home cooked food is always best ♡

I like hearing about others' experiences with education and careers, since this is what is am figuring out for myself right now. I love to talk philosophy.

Music:
Anything that connects with me- a good dancing beat is always appreciated! I love live music best, when I can hear the musicians tapping their feet and see the sweat on their foreheads. EDM, folk, rock, punk, all good. I avoid corporate/pop.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Earned a blackbelt after 10 years of Martials Arts studies.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share basic art principles, music theory and application, and song. I have dabbled in the arts including media and gained an understanding of the basics before moving on. Learning is my passion.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My individual experience is great and interesting and all, but sharing with others? POOF!! -things are a lot more complicated and extra wonderful. I love to share moments with others, and what I offer is honesty, openness, and good intention. Some moments are best spent in silence, some in song, others in debate. Each moment is THE moment, and I always appreciate that.

I'd love to contribute in any way I can. Let us cook a meal together, collaborate on an art project, share music, anything!
