I am a free-spirited, firey, passionate, ever-changing, caring, inquisitive, curious, playful, musical, open-minded, happy, silly, authentic, fun soul and believe in the ability to connect to all people and find mutual humanness :)

I have a strong sense of purpose in this life as well as a love for the life that I live and the unique gifts that I share

PHILOSOPHY

Love. Happiness. More love. Simplicity. Self Empowerment. Compassion. Music. Play. Dance. Connection. Love

I hope for a future where we are able to compassionately talk about, feel and heal the hurt of our culture, population, and shared psyche. A hurt that I believe has been building and compounding for thousands of years. My hope does not stem from a wish for a world without conflict, anger, unhappiness, or suffering. Rather, my hope is that in the inevitable conflict, anger, unhappiness and suffering that arises (that I believe enlivens this human experience); we are able to move towards reactions and responses that embody compassion and non-violence. Compassion and Non-violence for both the self and others. And that all people equally have the access to information and an education in compassion, non-violence, and universally shared human values.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I do a lot of traveling and love to use Couch surfing as a tool to connect to people and places. It allows me to open up to my global community and find adventure everywhere. I enjoy putting myself in new and different situations, and CS is a great way to do that!

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

So I am happy this question is hard to answer because I have done many things I would say are amazing to me. One of the most amazing and powerful things I have done in my life is being homeless for 6 months. Home was sharing a 1991 Honda Civic with a guy part of the time, and poached campsites for other parts. Cooking Jetboil means on sidewalks, falling asleep in decorative wagons outside restaurants, and trying to earn enough money to pay for gas to go Bouldering. Homelessness changed my life....realizing how little I need to survive, thrive, and find fulfillment, love, happiness, and PLAY.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I love learning and experiencing all that is new! I have experienced a lot, so I have so much to share. I can teach if people want to learn, and I can teach to learn. Everyday I find these 3 elements entering my life...whether my teacher is a friend, a lover, a boss, a tree, a sound...anything!

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I have a lot of love and kindness to share and can bring that to any place I go! I have a playful, happy spirit and can bring music, dance and fun.
