CURRENT MISSION
Serving my soul by serving the world . Co-creating with the universe .

I'm a progressive, nomadic, wordsmith by lifestyle and trade, with a BA in English Literature from San Francisco State University and a MA in International Development from The New School . Originally a Bay Area native, I've been traveling since 2011, bridging synergies between the academic and social justice world on the local, regional, and international levels .

ABOUT ME

Feel free to call me Ging-Dwan or Jengibre

Passionately engaged with life, love, light, and laughing too loudly .

Perpetually blowing the metaphysical conch for all my fellow black sheep, unicorns, underdogs, and unapologetic introverts .

PHILOSOPHY
Gratitude
People over profit
Treat others the way you want to be treated .
The most unlovable people need the most love .

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

The quality of your life is the quality of your relationships .
The more of them .
The more diverse .
And the more intimate .
The better !

(Angie was not only my first CouchSurfing mom, but the reason I have so much faith in the spiritual wellspring of this community)

Интересы

The Lion King got it right,
"There's more to be seen than can ever be seen. More to do than can ever be done."

Yes . I'm a proud 90's kid :)
