CURRENT MISSION

I am sailing around the world, if you'd like to meet me or simply show me around in any of my 12 destination countries I'd greatly appreciate it. I'll be staying on the boat but would love to hang with natives. Email me :)

ABOUT ME

Innovative advocate for ethical manufacturing of products, an enthusiastic professional who learns quickly. Especially adept at fostering relationships, networking, communication, leading people towards completion, working in a group, and problem/solution identification. It has been my good fortune to be raised in a multicultural environment. My grandmother is from a knighted family stemming from Eastern Germany, my mother from Guyana and my father from India. I have been apart of cultural exchanges exposing me to different ways of life and teaching me an acceptance of all people.

PHILOSOPHY

No regrets, Carpe Diem, and do today what should be done tomorrow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I believe in sharing resources and ensuring that everyone's needs are met. Everything I have is meant to be shared with others. Any time I have a resource or opportunity to drive somewhere and share the trip I publicize that. I volunteer for a no-money swap shop where one exchanges goods for goods instead of using monetary funds.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have yet to actually 'couch surf' but often times I make friends in unexpected places and share my home with them. I frequently use the Craigslist rideshare service where people traveling far distances post when they're departing and one can join them in their car. Our world needs a good lesson in sharing couch surfing and rideshare promote this.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am currently in the process of building a sustainable development on 120 acres of land in the foot hills of mt. Hood with a group of fellow leaders. Much knowledge on intentional self sufficient communities has already been gained through this process. Years of living have given me a plethora of knowledge to share concerning holistic health, environmental issues, conservation, business, and many other topics.
