CURRENT MISSION

Discovering, accepting & understanding my true nature; being present

ABOUT ME

For the past 4 years I've lived in Guatemala, and I'm now embarking on the next chapter in my adventure! Heading to India, where I spent 6 months in 2011, to see where my journey takes me next :)

PHILOSOPHY

"Be the change"
"Don't worry, be happy."
"I help people as a way to work on myself, and I work on myself to help people."

I want to help people by connecting people. Breaking down boundaries. Creating opportunities. An alternative to greed, individualism and materialism. Celebrating diversity, self-expression, creativity.

Awareness, disidentification from the ego, co-operation, joy. One with the earth and the universe.

Yoga. Conscious evolution. Being present. Mindfulness. Spirituality. Connection. We are all made of stars.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have participated in CS more than this spartan profile reveals. I've hosted when living on the beach in Pacific Beach, CA and the previous year I CSed through Mexico for 3 months, and I feel like I've met at least 50,000 people through CS at various different times ;)

I don't have a couch to offer right now, I'll be on the move quite a bit. Life is all about participating not spectating... I think I'm a good CS guest - try me!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This profile is kinda empty because I've largely used joint profiles when hosting/surfing in the past, which are no longer in use! (see above)

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC: I love all types of music, although I haven't really kept up with music for the last decade or so... I started playing guitar three years ago (finally! After many years of getting started and then giving up) and am not "good", but I love it and I'm getting better every day :)

MOVIES: I rarely watch movies. If anything it's edgy/provocative documentaries that get me going. I also have a penchant for cheesy rom-coms and the like when I'm sick or on a flight...

BOOKS: I rarely read books any more :( When I do, it's "self-help" or "spiritual" type books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Burning Man
Vipassana
Building bottle schools
