About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Live a Sacred Life

ABOUT ME

I have been on a quest for sacred encounters since I left home at 18. I see miracles in the mundane. Every experience that I have ever had on this planet is a part of my spiritual growth and I choose to see the beauty. In my attempts to express my humble perspective I write poetry, photograph the world I experience and love to give my time and energy in service of women - be it at a birth, in a workshop, or just over a cup of tea. Not excluding men of course, just love my sisters!

PHILOSOPHY

Everything is Sacred

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to spread my good vibrations to every corner of the globe.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had the good fortune of being invited into strangers homes to live and to stay for many nights. Travel has taught me tolerance and that humanity is basically good.
