ABOUT ME

Hello!

We are a couple of dreamers and believers!

I am Eli all of 24 years old. I have an old soul. I have traveled a bit, had the pleasure of hosting couch surfers and have surfed couches in different countries and states. I am ready to pack my bag once again and see where the universe and community takes me. I am a cook by profession and passion. Love to feed the mind body and soul.

I am Seneca. I am in love with life. I'm a bit of a butterfly. Dancing, cooking, painting, singing, listening, and feeling my feet on the Earth make me feel most alive. The Sonoran desert raised me, and I adore the sunshine. I was born with an innate sense of Justice and strive to bring more of into the world, and am learning to have fun and let loose while I do it!

PHILOSOPHY

"Live and Let Live"
"BE HERE NOW"
give thanks everyday.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I lived in Oakland my house hosted numerous CouchSurfers, mostly from Europe & Israel, and when I travelled in Belgium I surfed some couches there...I have even couch surfed in California on our way to different shows! It was amazing to be exposed to such a unique community and loved meeting so many interesting and like-minded individuals!! - Eli
