Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have yet to 'officially' host a surfer through this site, but have hosted many friends, friends of friends as well as family members (duh. who wouldn't host family?!?!)

I have been hosted in so many ways by so many people in different places and situations. I have experienced so much kindness and generosity; I strive to pay it forward, and live in abundance, generosity and kindness.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been blessed to have swam in amazing cenotes, been surrounded by millions of butterflies, lived on beaches, had the best fish tacos ever and hitchhiked all around Mexico;
participated in Mayan ceremonies, birthed 2 babies at home with a midwife, kayaked in and cliff jumped into beautiful Lago Atitlan, climbed volacoes and roasted marshmellow over lava, and found my Soul's Mate in Guatemala;
hiked through the jungle, rode an elephant, got tattooed, survived the full moon party, got a third-degree sunburn on my shoulders, and crashed a moped in Thailand;
swam in the oceans and eaten delicious seafood in El Salvador and Nicaragua;
more travel, more adventure, more experiences, more connections yet to come! bring it on!
