CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Very enthusiastic about the world! I gather my interests from mainly Eastern philosophy & meditation, Spanish language and literature, Beat literature and its influences (Dada, Surrealism, Jazz, Zen), MUSIC of all kinds (I'll tap my foot and do a little hop to anything), and ultimate human connection and compassion. I spend a lot of time outside and I could walk for days. I love to have coffee, talk, smile, and ride the cosmic waves.

// Muy entusiástica sobre el mundo! Mis intereses incluyen la filosofía del oriente y la meditación, literatura de la generación BEAT y sus influyencias (surrealismo, jazz, zen). Música de todo tipo. Y la conexión y compasión humana. Paso mucho tiempo afuera y podría caminar por días. Me encanta tomar café, charlar, sonreír, y surfear las olas cósmicas.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm an avid student of Yoga meditation and Buddhist philosophy, and I'm easy-going, positive, and I love to laugh and smile. BREATHING.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was floating alone in a swimming pool outside Madrid on a breezy day. My ears were underwater, but my face and little toes were exposed to the nips of oxygen in gasfizz form. In my peripheral vision, the glunk-glunks of water edges shifted. I closed my eyes because I realized that this may be the closest I might ever feel to floating in suspension between all elements. SUN-FIRE, MOON-AIR, WATER SUSPENDED, EARTH CONTAINER, and finally, the ETHER that giggles during these moments of realization. I must have floated for an hour, but Time was lost in essence at that moment.
Anyways, that's my favorite moment of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I tutor English as a Second or Foreign Language and also Spanish. I also teach Piano sometimes. I would be more than happy to do an exchange meet-up for Spanish and English!

// Enseño inglés como una segunda lengua y también español. A veces enseño lecciones de Piano. Me encantaría hacer un intercambio de inglés- español.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I make my own stickers to tag around urban spaces. They all have some sort of message to help observers remember to embrace the present. I can bring you some!
