About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Inside everyone is a great shout of joy waiting to be born" David Whyte

ABOUT ME

I feel blessed to be on life's great adventure! I was born and raised in Boston, and moved to LA in 1990. Since then I've lived in Santa Cruz, Peru, San Francisco, and now live in Mt Shasta. I spent years working as a financial controller in the business world, as well as a holistic practitioner....I feel at home in both worlds. I'm into healthy living: food, nature, yoga, dance, and spiritual life. I'm a traveler by heart, of mind, body and spirit. Love the natural world and delight in the eccentricities of people. I love to laugh, cook, dance, hang with friends and play .

PHILOSOPHY

We have what we seek. It is there all the time, and if we give it time, it will make itself known to us.
~Thomas Merton~

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mostly I've couch surfed. I spent two months in 2010 road tripping the Southwest and stayed with a variety of wonderful hosts.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've made some new friends...mostly I feel inspired by the generosity of others.

Interests

Nature, hiking, art, photography, dance, yoga, gardening and cooking are some of my interests/passions. I love hanging with friends, taking long walks, I'm an avid play goer, and love to laugh.

Music, Movies, and Books

I liked Barak Obama's Dream's of My Father, Conscious Loving, Emptiness Dancing by Adya.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I raised my sister's two children when my sister was ill...it was an incredible life altering experience. I also lived in Huarez, Peru learning how to mountain climb.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've spent years traveling, in search of something...it's been a yearning, a burning to know, to understand, to experience, to move, and be in the world. As much as I love traveling, I'm learning that the inner journey is as rich and just as important.
