CURRENT MISSION
to grow with the flow of life

ABOUT ME
I love my friends and family and I'm glad they are smart and interesting people I can learn from. I like cats and animals of all sorts. I'm a vegetarian, yogi, and mystic. I have been hula hooping since March 2015. Also, I'm newly married to my best friend and soul mate!

PHILOSOPHY
you can't rely too heavily on other people to provide you happiness. you have to figure out how to be happy with yourself first. contribute positively to other people's lives and let them contribute to yours in whatever form that may take, but know yourself.
Find that divine spark in yourself and then recognize it in everyone else.
Be Here Now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have stayed on a couple couches in France and met many people from the couch surfing community in Paris at picnics. I have also traveled with some different folks in Southeast Asia, but stayed mostly in guesthouses there. I did establish some good friends while traveling who I would gladly let stay on my couch if they come to the US.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed on plenty of couches in my day, but most not through couch surfing. Through CS, I had very good experiences in Nice and Paris, France and also in New Zealand.

Interests

cats, books, running, cooking, writing, being outside, talking with good friends/family, activism, art, coffee, snuggling, meditating, jalapeno chips.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make drinks and/or drink them, I can teach you a little about writing, I can teach you how to apply makeup, how to drive a stick shift, and make your house look tidy even if its really not.
I want to learn how to play the guitar better, how to write better, and how to speak other languages-- specifically Spanish.
