CURRENT MISSION

To be THE BEST ME possible on a daily basis!

I'M GINA! I'm an artist,  a  doula, a  facilitator, a vulnerabilitist (a  practicer  of relentless vulnerability), an  entrepreneur,  a philanthropist & a fierce lover of life.

I dedicate myself to living fully and helping others to connect more deeply with themselves and what they/we LOVE...the l'art d'être!

ABOUT ME

There's no truth to the rumors, unless you like what you heard, in which case they're absolutely true. I think people would most often describe me as mysterious, for lack of a better word..but really I'm an open book...but a really rare one in an old forgotten language that sometimes makes absolutely no sense.

I am lots of things (like most), most importantly these days a mom and if that dosent tell you a lot, well it means i wear lots of hats. Well, I am pretty silly mixed in with a little ridiculous and a dash of rational sense. I make jokes that might offend your grandma, I ride my bike without a helmet (what a rebel), I think (woo a big one, I know), create, talk, view, and explore. I enjoy a lot of so-called "manly" things; from stout ale to watching and playing most every sport. Ooooh and I love the outdoors; in fact I try to be outside as much as possible. I relish the opportunity to try something new, no matter how difficult it may be. I also enjoy cartoons far more then I should, especially Disney movies. I can be a little bit childish and silly at times, but only enough to be endearing... I think. Most of all, I enjoy traveling.

Some, all, or none of these are true:
- I live www.KORAKOR.org
- im slightly reclusive and growing more calm daily
- I tend to have conversations in and outside of myself which can quickly turn into a tandem stream of consciousness...
- im tattooed, curious, creative
- i love good conversation over drinks, having great glass of wine with dinner, or even staying in and watching a good movie with a bowl of ice cream
- reading is sexy
- i love to walk everywhere,
- i like children's books, and poetry that makes no sense
- i am married...to this guy http://www.couchsurfing.org/people/kams/
- i enjoy lying in the grass, reading, having a picnic with cheese. Lots of cheese.
- awkward moments light up my heart
- sometimes when I hug my friends I never want to let go
- i will eat wasabi until it makes me cry
- im loud, sometimes...
- I am afraid of tidal waves, jail in foreign countries, and dementia
- im appropriately inappropriate at times
- im hopelessly optimistic
- i'm pretty obsessed with music and make believing...
- i used to be insanely good at Tetris
- i love smart asses, with good table manners
- i dance to anything with any sort of beat at all
- you might beat me at Scrabble, maybe...
- i give awesome hugs
- i'm made out of wonderful things like peaches and cupcakes and sunshine and rainbows...all things good
- i do not believe in guilty pleasures. If something makes you happy, it makes you happy...
- i love gingerballs
- i don't like to capitalize the letter i, because..
.- a good poop is better then bad sex, really
- i pretend to play ukulele...horribly, but not even loosing my fingers could stop me
- i have a lot of love and energy and enthusiasm and...meet me heheh
-hairy gina is the best song in the world, look it up.
- i you want to ask me, forget what I just said (wrote above) and i'll give you a differnt anwser :)

Happy travels!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Lets take a pad of paper to a cafe and draw an imaginary city.
Lets buy soup for a homeless guy.
Lets bonk an occasional cars hoods when they almost run us over in the crosswalk.
Lets play instruments...and if we dont have any lets make some to use.
Lets get a coffee (or tea, or any beverage for that matter), ride our bikes and make fun of people (or just talk). i will try to say things that will hopefully make you laugh and maybe my timing will be just right and you will shoot coffee (drink) out of your nose. hehe

Good times to be had, lets have them...
