About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To bring the world closer to me and get closer to the rest of the world.

ABOUT ME

I'm eternally curious, a seeker of knowledge and wisdom and beauty and an occasional adventure. I am down-to-earth and laid-back. I am blessed with friends that are are smart and talented and super kind. I love all animals. I would rather walk than drive. I am not a cell phone junkie. I like stars and clouds and good light.

PHILOSOPHY

Just when you think you have the answer, someone, something, someplace is always out there to show you that there is another way to see.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mostly I host which has been nothing but fun, friendship and great times. I have crossed paths with people that are so incredible! CS offers the opportunity to connect and remember what it's all about.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first hosting experience was wonderful. Two of the nicest people ever from Africa! ...I felt lucky to have met them. My first surfing experience was equally awesome when I took my couchsurfer on a roadtrip (waaaay) up the coast and we had happened upon lots of magic and adventure and the biggest trees ever!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recently: sitting on a mountaintop overlooking the valley below in Guatemala, watching as red lava bubbled over in the distant sky under a damp starry night.

Teach, Learn, Share

I learn from everyone I meet. I'd like to share conversation, food, music, film and a libation.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can make you some super healthy super delicious food. I love sharing music and movies. I just learned some pretty cool sacred geometry iffin you feel like getting out a compass and a straight edge.
