CURRENT MISSION

Imagine world peace

ABOUT ME

I love to dance - I regularly dance contra, swing & Argentine Tango. I love to surf, though I'm still a beginner/intermediate. Hawai'i is great for outdoor activities, like biking, hiking, snorkeling, boogie boarding and the like. I help to coordinate a Restorative Medicine Conference, once a year. I'm interested in bettering the world, and am active in grassroots politics.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is wonderful. People truly can make a difference. Choose hope, love and inspiration over fear. Relationships are so vital to our experience, Let's cherish one another. Suffering is related to being attached to something, if we give up these attachments the suffering disappears. Life is a journey to grow and learn.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Helping to spread the word. I've introduced couchsurfing to friends and family who have also had positive experiences. I like meeting and getting to know people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first couchsurfed in the Netherlands and had a great experience. It's a wonderful network, and I'm glad to be a part of it.

Music, Movies, and Books

World's Fastest Indian- good hearted, uplifting movie; Sicko - health care documentary; Three Cups of Tea - truly an inspirational story of what one person can do if inspired towards bringing world peace in some way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled around the world: Netherlands, England, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Japan, China, Singapore, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand & Hawai'i. Conquered my greatest fear, snakes - by actually holding several, when previously I'd be afraid to touch a rubber snake. Truly shifted my paradigm - after my trip, I moved to Hawai'i.

Teach, Learn, Share

Love & hope are powerful motivators for change.
