CURRENT MISSION

My current objective is to enjoy traveling and experiencing life with my lovely partner, and continue to improve my teaching skills, deepen my yoga practice and offer the understanding that I have found to my students.

ABOUT ME

I'm a traveler and a yogi, an amateur musician and biologist. I aim for balance in my life, and work towards acceptance and understanding in every moment. Joy and connection are my motivations and I try to share the perspective and experience of unity that I have found whenever I can :) I live with my wonderful girlfriend named Ink, she's from Bangkok originally. Ink is fluent in English and Thai and has a Masters in Linguistics, so if you want to learn or practice English or Thai, she can help! Her and I have very similar personalities and tastes, so most of the stuff you read about me on this profile also applies to her ;)

PHILOSOPHY

I feel that I have been extremely fortunate in my life to have found so many loving and enlightened people. Through all my teachers - including all of the people, nature, music, science and art in my experiences - I have come to understand the unified nature of our incredible existence. This fundamental oneness informs my perspective and interactions. I feel that everyone and everything is a part of myself, and I work to accept and embrace all unconditionally :) In other words, I love you!

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

One thing I've learned from traveling for many years is that it's all about the people you meet. So what better way to travel than to dive right into the company of like-minded folks!

Музыка, кино и книги

I love them... I'm just a huge fan of all of that. I have spent an inordinate amount of time in my life dancing wildly as the most incredible live musicians on the planet act as conduits for the vibrational knowledge and beauty of the universe. I also enjoy strumming a guitar and beating on a drum now and again :) Movies are a passion of mine and I try to see all that I can, but that apparently means that I forget a lot of them too, there just must not be enough room in my head for all of it! I've read some great books, but I'd rather discuss them in person than list them here, just ask!

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Sorry, can't pick just one... so here's a few highlights: Climbed to the top of Yen Tu, a holy pagoda topped mountain in Northern Viet Nam. Jam Cruise, Burning Man, Phish!!! Scuba diving an atoll in Belize for a week from a tiny, wonderfully leaky cabana on the beach. Bought a Volvo in Sweden and drove all over Scandinavia. Lived in Asheville, NC for a decade (seriously amazing place), and now I live in Chiang Mai, Thailand, which is unbelievably awesome.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I'm more than happy to expound upon Yoga, Philosophy and Hugs! (maybe a little science, if you really want to know). Ink is an incredible cook and it is her passion, she would be happy to prepare and share some amazing Thai dishes (or just cook whatever is in the fridge and make it delicious, she's quite inventive!). We also both play guitar and sing, and are always down for a little jam session. We'd like to learn everything and anything you would like to share :)

Чем я могу поделиться с хостами

I can teach you about Yoga, We can play you some music, I can give you the best hug in the universe, it may include a massage ;) We can also cook food, practice languages, and share travel advice about the many interesting places we've been or lived (especially the USA and Thailand).
