Just moved to S. Cal from Seattle for a few months, very likely staying. Brand new to couch surfing!, Update, I'm in Seattle until March 1st to take care of my home and business.

I appreciate genuine people who don't take themselves and life too seriously, yet still strive to always keep learning and growing body, mind, and spirit. I'm genuine, real, and passionate and appreciate the opportunity for real interactions, and sharing.

I love random adventures and trips and just learning and growing along the way.

I run a small business and am also studying to follow my passion of working directly with others in Health and Healing, hypnotherapy, Nutrition counseling, Biofeedback, muscle testing, and Craniosacrial therapy.

I like to eat well, try and be aware of my feelings and state of mind, exercising, and keeping healthy. Love music and singing in the shower. Also working on being more open to people and experiences outside my norm and appreciating the uniqueness and commonality of peoples journeys. Also love sports and have always been pretty athletically inclined. Love animals!

I really enjoy photography, if your interested to take a peek, www.jwgarrettphotography.com .

Definitely consider myself spiritually inclined, not in a dogmatic way, just based on my experiences.

Done a decent amount of traveling and still lots of cool places to see. I can be very focused with things that interest me but am pretty laid back in general. I love meaningful conversations that solve the riddles of existence (ok well at least feeling like we gave it our best shot) and also appreciate simple fun mindless activities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Some of my best experiences, and new friends have come from retreats and going to other countries. Great getting different perspectives and sharing. Spices up life to consider new possibilities.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can't say I've done it at all, but I hav seen glimpses behind the veil of what the world sees as real, and myself most of the time when I am not being conscious. It's really all even much more wonderful than we could imagine.
