CURRENT MISSION

Cultivate my natural gifts and to help other people find and cultivate their own. And so on and so on...

ABOUT ME

I have lived a charmed life. Like most of us here, I love to travel! Lived in Spain for a couple years, and Bolivia, too (Ay, mi llacta!). Have visited quite a bit of Europe and Latin America, and a tiny slice of the middle east. Asia, I'm coming for you next! If I don't do a big trip once a year, I get antsy...

I work in and study mental health, and am fascinated by psychology, sociology, cultural studies. Every person I meet gives me a new perspective on the human experience. That's why travel gives me such a thrill. It's the best form of experiential learning and teaches you so much about yourself.

PHILOSOPHY

"The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function."
-Fitzgerald

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been so fortunate to receive so much generosity from CSers, I want to give back in any way I can. I'm looking forward to having a living situation that can accommodate surfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing has changed the way I travel, forever and always! I've had the most beautiful experiences. Thanks to all the kind people who contribute to this community.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

NY times and NPR are two of my greatest loves. I enjoy both literary fiction and trashy novels. I love hip hop, rock, singer song writers. Anything that makes me think or makes me swang :) Bonus points for spanish hip hop.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

The Salt Flats in Uyuni, Bolivia. Natural phosphorescence in the ocean at night in Honduras. Paragliding in Turkey.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I know a LOT about natural dog and cat food. Feel free to ask me about it, haha!

Would love to learn more about all my current interests, especially social justice, meditation, and how culture and society influence the human experience.
