About Me

CURRENT MISSION

We are plunging into the luscious depths of every place with curious eyes

ABOUT ME

We are purple colored women with feathers for hair. We are moving, swirling, grooving dooving all the time. The past few months we have been living in an ecovillage where our hearts and brains were blown open quite regularly, and replaced with clear water and lots of plants. Our intuition guides our leaping. We are up for doing whatever delights us, or what we know will blink or eyes open wider even if we're a little scared of it. We're chill we're mad we're silent we're singing we're curious we're warriors and fools and kings and medicine women.

PHILOSOPHY

We try to keep our eyes and molecules open to the world so that it can all pour in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We are thirsty for couches, for windows into the rich places that grooves beneath a country's shiny surface. Because the thought of traveling and seeing, hearing, brushing against millions of human beings without getting a chance to stop, hang out, speak, be silent, learn... sounds incredible lonely and unfulfilling.

Interests

local culture, stories, realities and worldviews beyond western society, making music (singing, harmonica, kazoo), biking and walking into delicious places, forests, nature of any kind, reiki, crafting, the psychology of groups and of violence, philosophy, laying about watching movies or napping, writing, adventures
