CURRENT MISSION

Opening a yoga studio in Florida's Nature Coast!

ABOUT ME

I'm progressive, fun-loving, mindful, sincere, sensitive, pescetarian, abundantly practical, hard-working, and queen of my fears.

I'm keeping it real, and fully engaged in maintaining a positive outlook and LAUGHING as much as possible.

Some of my favorite things are: red wine, good coffee, fish tacos, sunshine, trees, a good brainstorm, taking photos, hiking, biking, tennis, flying kites, and travel (of course!)

After 15 years in the New York/Jersey City area, I've returned to my roots in the Nature Coast of Florida.

PHILOSOPHY: Be NICE! I have faith in serendipity...

Taken from Daily OM:

Luck is what you create for yourself when you seize the moment and become willing to receive the good that can come from taking chances. Opportunities to be lucky exist everywhere. All you have to do is be brave enough to take a chance and be lucky. Luck doesn’t happen from hiding in your room and never giving luck an opportunity to enter your life. Open your heart, speak your truth, and come out of hiding today, and you will find that you are one lucky soul.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used to host all the time in my old apartment with more room. Now I live in a studio. I can still host, but not as much. I still have a comfy futon couch, which is the same room, beside my own bed. I have one very sweet, geriatric cat.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

See me on Hospitality Club, too (lunare9000). More comments there.
