I have fun trying to bring greater awareness to each moment

I love my family and friends. Appreciate my mind, body, heart... surfing waves has been my passion since I started as a kid on family trips to the the beach. I enjoy walking, being physically active. I am a comfortable and calm person. Ebb and Flow. I feel rich in happiness. Today is the best day. I can breath and embrace this experience!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling through North America and Europe. Hosting surfers in California, so many incredible experiences with amazing people. On the east coast I was saved from the rainy roads last minute by a kind lady who could play a song on a guitar with one string. In France I felt like family with a number of very generous hosts in the south coast. I hosted a french person who lived like everyday was a celebration. I am on couch surfing to learn about life, people and ways I don't know.

Interests

Walking, biking, Surfing, dance, yoga or any outdoor exerciser makes me happy and stoked to be alive. Baking. Nurturing plants. Drinking Tea. Being with nature. It feels great to see other people happy and to practice compassion. Family and friends are the best medicine. Laughter heals me :) I Try to be intentional with my energy and to be thoughtful of what I am creating. I founded and run the business www.noenemy.org
