CURRENT MISSION

"why can't we give love give love give love give love give love give love give love?"

....I'm living and working in a very remote rainforest area about 1.5 hours from Tocumen airport. Check us out at: www.kaluyala.com We are envisioning a new approach to sustainability, on a mission to prove that there is a better way to live that is supporting our planet and bringing us joy through nature and community. I'm looking to meet more people in Panama City and around the country as jungle living is magical AND challenging, so I am going to the city and beach when I can :)

ABOUT ME

I love to keep doing and learning about as much as possible and think doing so with/from other people is usually the best way. Conversation and listening are my favorite things, and when this involves fun adventures/foods/drinks/walks - even better!

I am a huge believer. I believe in people and in change and have little control over my often naive faith in humanity. I consider myself a passionate peace-seeker, artist, musician, athlete, writer-rambler, photographer, yogi, surfer, among many other mundane titles...

Specific attention grabbers include random artsy projects, soccer/yoga/volley, la Amazonía, experiential education, cultural exchange, social entrepreneurship, environmental justice...

and of course spontaneous 1 minute dance parties/sing-a-longs

PHILOSOPHY

UBUNTU

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

cultural exchange is one of the small steps that is crucial to spreading peace and this project is such a great catalyst for sharing and soul-spreading

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had my first experience in Lima, Peru. Evaded a sticky visa situation with my job in Ecuador and ended up in Peru - where I was literally saved and embraced by the loveliest chicos y chicas in Lima. Met new friends from all over the world there and don't know how I would have made it those 3 weeks in Peru without couchsurfing :)
