CURRENT MISSION

Thrive

ABOUT ME

I love finding and appreciating beauty. I may or may not be the reincarnation of an ancient egyptian goddess. I come from the breathtakingly wild Pacific Northwest, and it will always be my home. I grew up between the city of Bellingham (look it up if you wish) and a cabin on a glacier lake in the woods. Please feel welcome to visit and enjoy the natural beauty for yourself...but don't tell too many people.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in laughter, love and compassion. I figure there are enough horrible things in the world that my presence here does not have to contribute to them....and should rather do the opposite. Think about it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I do things.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have enjoyed the company of many hosts and surfers since I joined CS. The kindness of people in the world is truly outstanding. Some may think cs is an easy way to surf their surfers...if you know what I mean. If that is why you agree to host me or want a place to stay, than you are welcome to keep searching for a person who may help you fulfill your end goal. I would rather sleep under the stars.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

experienced the green flash in Hawaii from a pirate ship
witnessed a snail race in Ireland
regrew my left big toenail from scratch
Died and came back in India
Rescued a horse from a muddy brambled stream ditch with the help of a tractor, some blankets and a jolly group of rainsoaked volunteers
lived for a month in an Italian olive grove living off mostly figs, whiskey and pomegranates
Hung out with Robin Williams for a day
witnessed my brother survive life threatening cancer
...I could go on, but I guess stories are best heard in person

Teach, Learn, Share

If there is a mountain nearby with snow, I can teach you to ski
I can teach you to make toad in the holes, and the best way to eat them.
I want to learn about the many ranges and ways of life
