CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME
I believe the universe is in constant change and expansion. I intend to live my life in harmony with whatever force created us through perpetual growth and self-exploration
I graduated high school and spent a year with AmeriCorps building houses in New Orleans and fighting forest fires in Colorado. Afterwards I WWOOFED around California for a season learning the essentials of homesteading and a sustainable lifestyle. I'm currently planning to travel to Costa Rica for a timber framing workshop.
Much much more about me cannot be communicated through words so I beg you, do please, explore and grow with me.
PHILOSOPHY
Do. What. Feels. Right.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I try to spread the word about couch surfing to all my friends. Although I am currently traveling I look forward to experiencing CS as a host.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My first couchsurfing experience was in Colorado and I had a blast. The family welcomed me in and showed me the culture of their town. Afterwards we exchanged native cuisines for our last dinner together.
Since then I've couchsurfed in multiple locations in Central America.

Teach, Learn, Share
We can move: lets run together, play together, jump together, dance together
We can talk: let's talk life, let's talk each other, let's talk all that is and all that will be
We can relax: meditate with me...legs crossed on a yoga mat or spread out on a beach
