My goal in life is to have great stories. I think I'm doing pretty good so far, but I am always looking to add to the collection.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet like-minded wanderers. To share knowledge, experiences, stories and to help one another.
I AM NOT ON COUCHSURFING TO DATE OR MEET DUDES. I can spot bullshit from a mile away. I can feel very uncomfortable very easily and I do not appreciate unsolicited advances or come-ons disguised as a lame “it’s more fun to explore together.”

(I should refer you to my Spotify account: https://open.spotify.com/user/1258365063?si=cm7LkiljSPecOtPfMemeAA ) . On Books, that’s another long list. Right now I am reading: Two Thousand Years, and Women Who Run With Wolves

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’m changing this to “One Amazing Thing I’ve Learned:”
.
The moment I started trusting my body and ignoring my mind, thing begin to move much more smoothly.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m open to learning anything. I’m happy to share about meditation, art practices, social psychology and to share the crazy experience it is to be flying through space on a rock.
