CURRENT MISSION

Be happy, make others happy, live simply, see the world.

My happy place is on the waves--surfing or hanging out by the water. I love yoga, meditation, and cooking (especially with and for people). I also love animals, and people who love animals. I have a 10 year-old black Malamute named Mato and a puppy named Charles Wallace. They are both lovely and respectful but might need a few minutes to warm up to you at first. Guests must love dogs for that reason!

All conversations of faith and spirituality are safe and welcome in my home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To share, learn, connect, heal, bless, and be blessed.

Interests

Spontaneity, and more specifically, spontaneous kindness. Kindness makes the world spin backwards- that's what we need I think.

• sharing economy

Music, Movies, and Books

My music interests are fairly broad but most days you can find me listening to Classic Rock, folk rock, and Jazz.
Movies- Wes Anderson (Moonrise Kingdom!), anything out of the box.
Books- generally I am reading something spiritual or fiction with a spiritual twist. Or magical and mystical sci-fi =)

Teach, Learn, Share
