CURRENT MISSION

Leave it in better shape than I found it.

ABOUT ME

I was stuck in a cubicle for many years, then escaped, went to China for two years, came back, became a yoga teacher, traveled to Europe for a year, and now settling in, but not in a box!

PHILOSOPHY

I want to continue to challenge old beliefs and see our world community continue to bring freedom to women and those trapped in or because of religious dogma.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I get involved in community, helping in social justice issues I believe in and supporting the scientific community.

Heard of it years ago, but became most interested from a friend in Vienna, Austria, who hosts a lot.

Music, Movies, and Books

I grew up listening to Rock, but find I like Jazz most now, and a favorite concert of mine was Leonard Cohen. A favorite book is The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. Currently reading Higgs Discovery by Lisa Randall, exciting stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't think I blinked my eyes my first year in China or in Europe, I didn't want to miss anything. But, by far the most amazing site for me was to walk out of the underground in Rome and see the Coliseum, I practically fell over.

Teach, Learn, Share

You don't need to kill yourself to get in shape, hot yoga is challenging, and awesome! Also does wonders for back pain.
