CURRENT MISSION

Laugh more, live more, and love more :)

ABOUT ME

Lately the question of who I am has become a challenge to answer as I feel that I continue to change with each breath. But I consider myself to be a down to earth person with a positive outlook on life, when I'm not caught up in challenging circumstances. One who enjoys learning about others' philosophies so that I can work on my own. Currently I am working on improving myself and raising my vibrational frequency through meditation, yoga and the like, to better the energy that I put into this world. Oh and I'm a social work student, doula, and I work at a women's transition house :)

PHILOSOPHY

To find out why things happen in this life as they do, and to learn from those lessons. To find what you believe in, what burns your fire, then own it, become it and live it, then change it to keep on growing. To help others to realize their potential and encourage them to live!!!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I believe that through community, we can help one another without having to support mass corporations and stay in hotel rooms where we don't meet anyone. Couchsurfing is a beautiful way to share, meet people and bring together our global community.

I've had many awesome experiences

On world youth day in Toronto years ago I met a group of people from Switzerland. One girl Simone invited me to come to her house in Sion (just outside Geneva) when I came to Europe. I took her up on the invitation and it was amazing! Her house was not a house, it was a chalet overlooking spectacular mountains, and her family was incredibly hospitable.

I have also stayed with and hosted couchsurfers in India, Canada and Taiwan!
All have been incredibly positive experiences.

Algo increíble que he hecho

The one thing that stands out in my mind was one of the days that i spent viewing the temples of Anchor Wat. I was pretty disturbed by the idea of kids at the temples begging for money and selling various items. I decided that the best way to help them would not be to give them money but to give them my affection and attention. I told them to put their stuff down and come with me. I taught them how to play "what time is it Mr. Wolf?" and they had a ball! I have a picture of them giving me a high five and treasure that memory.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I really like this idea of sharing with one another and basing this exchange solely on trust and intuition about the beautiful nature of other human beings on this earth. I think too often we are brainwashed thinking that we can't trust anyone but I feel that one can be trusting and have faith that the universe will bring forth protection when we need it.
