my MISSION :: share life and love in this beautiful world

My friends all call me gypsy. Movement is my therapy... yoga... hoop... hiking... handstand attempting. I am an INFP. I lived in a very large van for a while, but nowadays I enjoy regular showers and the comfort of knowing the police won't be knocking on my window at night.

Here's some inspirational quotes.

"Be yourself, everyone else is taken." Oscar Wilde

"Be the change you wish to see in the world." Ghandi

"Don’t ask what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go and do that. Because what the world needs are people who have come alive." Harold Whitman

Be grateful.
"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity.... It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been on couchsurfing for years. It has introduced me to many people with whom I have built meaningful life-long friendships. Grateful for the community, even as it has changed over the years. It's so freakin' rad to land in a strange city and have a community of friends.
