CURRENT MISSION

to soak up the earth

ABOUT ME

I am overwhelmed by the feeling of breathing and being in nature. I love sports and play volleyball and basketball. I am a Zumba fitness instructor. I love to write. Im enthralled with live music and love to come together with guitars and friends singing. I love to dance. I love to swim and prefer to live near water. Im more attracted to the sun and warmer places but I appreciate the snow and cold too.

PHILOSOPHY

I have a lot of personal philosophies and they collide with eachother...."Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
