CURRENT MISSION

To thrive in the balance between service and fun.

ABOUT ME

I'm a person who studies acupuncture. I have a philosophy degree also. I love to talk, to get lost in conversation with interesting people known and unknown. I am looking for what moves me. What moves me is anything offered genuinely by another person--a film, a song, a painting, a story, compliment, or gesture. People are works of art, and I am constantly in awe of life. That's all quite heady. I also like to have fun and goof around. Cheers!

PHILOSOPHY

I am a gardener in the park of human beauty. As in, I'm a healer, and therefore I spend my day marveling at the people I get to spend time with.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As of yet, I am going to do some surfing. I would like to host, and will be in talks with my housemates about doing so. Watch this space!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My ideal trip was to Mexico: DF, Taxco, Puerto Vallarta, and Sayulita. Very relaxed itinerary, very friendly, generous people. Good will and love all around!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Sayulita, Mexico, looking out over a black surf under the night sky, and seeing/hearing only bands of white foam coming in toward me. Enchanting.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm studying at Tai Sophia, the most forward-thinking wellness institute in the United States. I have gained a few skills, some knowledge. I am always interested to talk about healing, perhaps even to explore a bit about your experience of life, how things are moving, and where they might be a little stuck. And of course, I can teach a bit about Chinese medicine.
