About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Haven't been active in the community for a while, but I just opened things up for myself and I'm ready to see more world. Got myself domesticated for a while living in San Jose, and now it's time to hit the road.

My *CURRENT MISSION* is to meet fire spinning groups all over the country and build a network of flow artists who are willing and able to host other traveling performers, a lot like CS!

ABOUT ME

Years ago I left the east coast to do what makes me happy. Deciding to listen to my inner voice and go where it leads me has taken me some incredible places and introduced me to beautiful people. I guess I'm seeking truth and ways that I can improve the space around me, but more often it feels like it finding me. An awesome adventure I must say. I read whatever books I can get my hands on, the older or stranger the better.

Every year I spend a month the the black rock desert building burning man with DPW. I also teach and perform with fire props with the Rope Dart Academy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

"Find yourself in the service to others."

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met the kind of people i would like to meet out in the world. Fun, helpful, awesome people with a love of life. Most Everyone I've met here has become a life long friend.

My first experience with cs was in 2010 when I went by atlas (lol) and traveled with my then partner. All of our hosts were the most fascinating, gracious and genuine people. I wish I still had that account but I think she got it. I'll be verified soon, I know it's worth every cent.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am an enormous movie geek. I love cinematography and a good story, including books. I've always got one somewhere.

This section is going to take a while so it's under construction.

Right now I'm reading Shantaram. A lively woman I met in passing remember me and sent me a copy months later. It was a great surprise.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I found the button.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always happy to teach anyone anything I know! Most notably is the rope dart. #dartlife

What I Can Share with Hosts

Typically my gift is an I Ching reading. If it's an invaluable source of wisdom and guidance. If you don't know what it is I would be happy to tell you more about it. Also rope dart (again).
