CURRENT MISSION

To create connections with people

ABOUT ME

Oh, man. We just love to describe ourselves... Doesn't everyone?
First of all, we are grateful. We are down-to-earth and prefer to live simply.
We are educated, and through being educated we understand that whatever knowledge we have is just a drop in the great ocean of what there is to know.

PHILOSOPHY

‎I can live with doubt, uncertainty and not knowing. I think it is much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong.

We are all one. But "oneness" does not mean "sameness."

Can I truly connect with another without first being vulnerable?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have mostly hosted and surfed a few times.
We love being a part of this world-wide traveler community.
One hundred percent of our couch surfing experiences have been positive so far!

Interests

All outdoors, training, movement arts, energy work, environmental issues, responsible food production and consumption, too many to list...My passion is training and education. She loves to paint watercolors.We like to eat well, mostly organic. But, eating well doesn't mean eating till you can't stand up. We support independent thinking and creative expression. We admire personal responsibility and scoff at the idea of entitlement. We work hard at leaving a "smaller footprint" on this planet. We learned at a young age that things that make us happiest are not found in a bank.

Music, Movies, and Books

It varies day to day; so many excellent books and movies!
But, no matter the passing interests, we always love classical music because it never loses its pertinence.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen and done many things that may be considered "amazing" by others. To me, they were just something I did that day. I endeavor to live by the idea that the essence of mystical vision is to see the extraordinary in the ordinary. One amazing thing that I did recently was watching a cat jump up on the fence. How does he do it with such grace?

Teach, Learn, Share

I have never met a master who claimed to know.He who calls himself a "healer" most certainly is not.To be driven by one's ignorance is to continue to learn for a lifetime. To be driven by one's knowledge is to be bound by one's beliefs."To believe is to know that you believe, and to know that you believe is not to believe." SartreThere is a great difference between a short exhibition of well-practiced moves and an ability to move appropriately at any time.The mind is powerful.  It is capable of many things, one being re-writing the past to justify the present.
