About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to appreciate each person for the message they have to offer us all. I want to participate in as many cultures as I can in my lifetime

ABOUT ME
I value innocence, truth, depth, softness, strength, empathy and, above all, love.

PHILOSOPHY

"The thought manifests as the word. The word manifests as the deed. The deed develops into habit. And the habit hardens into character. So watch the thought and its ways with care. And let it spring from love, born out of concern for all beings." -Buddha

"But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure, Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor, Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears." ~Kahlil Gibran

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I've hosted once and traveled to Europe where I met wonderful hosts in 3 different cities. I'd like to host again sometime and earn some couch karma points!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Amazing... we all seem to be of a similar open mindset. I learned much more from other cultures than I ever would have if I had stayed at a hotel.

Interests

Love, dancing, fires, nature, wine, good food, good company, spirituality, healing arts, mysteries, languages, guinea pigs & rodents, all animals, and all things Greek!

Music, Movies, and Books

Open to all kinds :-) Avatar is one of my favorite movies :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drove to New Orleans to live there and help rebuild the city after Hurricane Katrina. That city has SOUL!

Teach, Learn, Share

After traveling, I always feel quite naive. So for now I think I'll try to listen.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would be happy to show off my town and give an experience from a local's perspective :-)
