About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Connection with All

ABOUT ME

Herbalist. Human. Happy. Heal all within. Help out without. Presence is the only action. Love is the true verb.

PHILOSOPHY

A life lived in fear is a life half-lived.
Laughter is a strong and loving healer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would eventually like to become an ambassador to others and to help people make positive connections. I think it is vitally important, now more than ever to create global community and I believe that Couch Surfing is a great way to make that possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All over, host and hosted!

Interests

I love walking around a city and finding those little hole in the wall places; trying new foods; reading; movies; yoga; dancing; singing and hiking. I am also very interested in learning the banjo so if you happen to play I would love to learn a few things from you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked through cloud forests of Costa Rica and hung out with howler monkeys. Saw the Eiffel Tower; hiked the Alps; got to see Michael Angelo's David and Florence at dusk; drank wine in the Tuscan countryside; saw the canals of Venice; ran the streets of Munich in the rain; had a heartbreaking experience at Dachau; lived in Chateau de Vincennes; enjoyed a hot spring in the snow; watched two wolves walk through a canyon pass during a blizzard; saw The Badlands in half-shadow under a sky full of stars.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to do some writing with others along the way or work on collaborative projects. Down for all art.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great food, music recommendations, healing massage therapy, herbal remedies, laughter
