healing humyns through unconditional love
ABOUT ME
hello there,
for the last 2.5 years i have been volunteering and traveling through latin amercia. i want to use my privilege of being born in a rich nation to help other people in this world, people that do not have the privilege to volunteer due to their necessity of work. we can bomb the world to pieces, but we can't bomb it into peace. blessed are the peace makers.
After my first long tattoo session i felt spiritually cleansed. i also built up enough conviction to do what i knew was best for the planet, stop buying gasoline. i sold my BMW adventure motorcycle and bought a bicycle. i now carry a flag on my bicycle saying 'another world is possible'. I made myself an ambassador to the usa and pedaled my bicycle to guatemala volunteering along the way. i spent 16 months working with street kids and orphans there with a group called quetzaltrekkers.com. what an incredible experience. unconditional love is the greatest thing i have ever been given, its the greatest thing i can give. now i am continuing the journey, ever south. the next stop is peru, then to bolivia to spend another 6 months volunteering? right now i am in colombia enjoying every minute of it.
PHILOSOPHY
life is not about learning how to weather the storm, but learning how to dance in the rain.
i live my life for today. the past is history, the future mystery, and right now a gift. that is why they call it the present. i believe in the kindness of others. i believe in shinning my love light out into the world. its an important time to unite the people of the world. riding my bicycle around speaking and sharing with poeple about love and life has been such an incredible experience and a chance to share my ideas with so many people. it seems to be a great way right now for me to inspire people to seek change in themselves, their community, and in the world. we are the ones we have been waiting for.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
when i was out traveling, lots of folks offered up their homes to me. now i want to give back to the community. come out and have a great time in the country just outside of new york city.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
i consider myself a proffesional house guest. i have been traveling for years and feel like i have always been invited back. recently i spent one month in san diego couch surfing. i never stayed in one place more than two nights and got to see so many of my friends. not bad for not overstaying my welcome
